The era

The era of silent film encompasses the thirty-five-year span between the initial development of film technology

around 1894 and the widespread adoption of synchronize  sound around 1929.

It was a vitally important period in film history, both for the artistry of the films it produce

and for the societal impact of the various institutions that develop to produce and display those films.

Numerous films from the silent era are regard as landmarks of world cinema, just as some of the stars

and filmmakers that dominate the period remain among the most beloved and influential in film history.

Despite the era’s vitality, for decades many scholars took a primitivist view of all but its latest films,

regarding the bulk of the silent years mainly as the period of the cinema’s nascence.

An evolutionary reading

An evolutionary reading of film history often prevail, one that see interest or merit primarily in those aspects of silent film artistry

and production that directly anticipate later cinematic developments.

Beginning in the 1980s, a new generation of scholars came to fundamentally question

this approach and began to see silent film as part of a distinct historical moment worthy of attention in its own right

and less as a series of progressive steps on a predefine evolutionary ladder.

One impact of this reevaluation has been the periodization of silent cinema into a series of distinct historical stages,

each with its own prevailing stylistic features and reigning social dynamics.

The details of such periodization can vary significantly between scholars,

but one overarching effect is that the term “silent film” has become less frequently used by academic film

historians as a viable catchall, given the term’s potential to elide significant differences across cinema’s first decades.

Yet the study of filmmaking across the whole of the silent era, or substantial parts thereof,

remains an important facet of film scholarship, and in these contexts the idea of a transhistorical silent cinema is still regularly employ.
