PRESENTATION
This special issue of 1895 revue d’histoire du cinéma, devoted to the history of film professions in France up to 1945 and including a DVD, is published in collaboration with the University of Rennes and with the support of the French Film Archives-CNC. The aim of this issue is to open up a largely unexplored field of research, proposing not only case studies of specific film professions (designer, screenwriter, sound engineer, composer, etc.) but also more wide-ranging articles about studio hiring practices, training of actors, trade unions, etc. This issue is accompanied by a DVD containing 7 rare films that show this important off-screen dimension of the film industry.
