Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research focused on major film industry countries in the silent period of the 1910 's, not following the traditional progressive historical development leading to the establishment of the classic Hollywood cinema style, but the international film style and the national film style.

Secondly, in the 1910's, when various relationships between the adjacent Arts such as theater, art, music, dance, literature and the film world bloomed, the process of film as popular art was analyzed, and practiced a new approach to uniqueness and writability of cinema history.
