W. Griffith. However, only a small group of his more than five hundred films has been the subject of a systematic analysis and the vast majority of his other works stills await proper examination. For the first time in film studies, the complete creative output of Griffith--from "Professional Jealousy" (1907) to "The Struggle "(1931)--will be explored in this multi-volume collection of contributions from an international team of leading scholars in the field. Created as a companion to the on-going retrospective held by the Pordenone Silent Film Festival, "The Griffith Project" is an indispensable guide to the work of a crucial figure in the arts of the nineteenth century. |
