Questioning the notion of modernity, it holds that political issues from a themathical point of view are key to the rebirth of the cinematography form in France after World War II and to the mid 1970's

Full textThis thesis explores the transformation of censorship in cinema by the French state, between 1961, the date when a more strict reform was applied, and 1975, the year that classification “X” was put in place and the same year freedom of expression in cinema was also established. This is the question at stake, through this institution and its mutation, which is played in the bifurcation during “les années 1968”. Because of this, in this thesis, a specific theoretical framework is used which articulates the political sociology of the institutions and the theory of civilization by Norbert Elias. Resources were primarily conducted in state archives, but also includes printed sources from the press

It's under its impulse that are undertaken the rationalization of the administrative organization and professional of the cinema like that of its framing. The mode of Vichy is a precursor as regards administrative centralization, of organization corporatist, professional control, financing of the production and vocational training. This time of the cinematographic life is capital in the institutional history of the French cinema because it's at this period that is born the substantive law : several of the fundamental elements of the contemporary organization find their structuring there

Full textRarely touched as subject, the history of French cinematographic journals during the aftermath of the Second World War (1945-1952) was divided into two streams: those of specialized journals and those of generalized ones such as Cinémonde, Ciné-Miroir ou Mon Film. They transformed the columns of ancient journals into “film-telling”[Film raconté]. L’Ecran Français, however, was the only journal able to synthesize elements both from generalizing journals (i.e. readers’ letter, advertisement, and cult for stars) and from specializing journals (i.e. political position and comments regarding the cinema). Since then, the two streams of journals were more and more distinguished by their didactic and moral differences. The common point for specialized journals was their expectation for promoting cinematographic education alongside the popular educating movement. Some journals were issued from secular cine-clubs (Ciné-Club and Informations-Ufocel) while others were from catholic ones (Télé-Ciné). There were otherwise journals, which were meant to actively defend American cinema, such as the reputed Revue du cinéma founded by Jean George Auriol, as well as La Gazette du cinéma by Maurice Schérer. These journals also contributed to “experimental aspects” for the newly-born journal Cahiers du cinéma. Positif was a journal similar to that of Raccords in terms of spirit; it seemed to unite and transmit the legacy of two confidential journals: Saint Cinéma des Prés, which defended as well experimental cinema as American cinema, and L’Age du cinéma, which claimed a surrealist approach while denying those films that over-emphasized avant-gardism. In the long run, the great Cinephilia in the fifties and sixties were proved to be closely connected to the unfamiliar Cinephilia right after the Second World War

Full textThe present work, by the analysis of all aspects of the diffusion of the cinema, focuses on the relationship between social and cultural diversity of a large city and the entertainment. As of its first years of existence, the cinema is shown as much at the public of the great prestigious theaters that to, more popular, of the fairs. Multiplication of the movie theaters as from the years 1910 reproduce this situation. The movie palaces located in the downtown area coexist with the small suburbs or local cinemas, directed by inexperienced and not very fortunate people. The differences of comfort and prices between the movie theaters contribute to a distinction of the audiences which runs until the years 1950, and take part in the hierarchical landscape of urban spaces. This situation is particularly underlined by the unequal circulation of films in Lyon, which privileges the most opulent movie theaters. The establishments located in the most popular districts must often have patience of long months before having access to the great productions, and are sometimes constrained to program movies of second order. Gradually, the cultural segregations are superimposed on the social geography of the city. The development of both state and parish cinema in the years 1920 and the emergence of specialized movie theatres in the years 1930 amplify the distinction of the publics. Mass leisure, the cinema is a plural entertainment

Full textThis thesis focuses on the role of French film producers as central figures in the production process of each film. Notwithstanding their important contribution, film producers are largely forgotten in the history of the seventh art and little known to the general public, the studies having focused more on actresses, screenwriters and directors. It is precisely this lack that the present research proposes to fill by exploring the careers, the motivations, the difficulties encountered and the daily life of the French film producers, by highlighting what they brought, by showing how they made to evolve the profession of producer and in particular how much they influenced the economy of the cinema and shaped, by their work, our imagination. Our analysis is articulated in three stages, in order to understand the process that has favored the advent of women in French film production since the Nouvelle Vague until today. The project to enhance the role of producers not only reveals a part of the history of the seventh art, but also to ask the question of film production declined to the feminine at the heart of the reflection on the work. Our thesis aims to reveal, through the words, actions and management of producers, the history of the seventh art through a new perspective, to better understand the cultural reality and its contradictions. It is certain that there can be no question of the history of cinema without these women

Full textThis aesthetics and historical approach, observed through five tripartite chapters, aims at elucidating formal analogies between painting and filming. The firstpart composed by chapters one and two brings back the developpement of impressionnism satisfying visual globalism, and which philosophy exalts natural daylight. The second part takes up cinema with chapter three dedicated to natural exteriors, effects to transition from painting to motion picture easily symbolized by Jean Renoir's film: une partie de campagne dated from 1936. Forth chapter makes clearer poetical realism concept invented as far back as 1875 thanks to theodore veron styling daubigny's pictorial work neighbouring to visual detailism. In movie it finds fame by la rue sans nom shooted in 1933 and expressing simulated structure, realistic look, more disposed to claustral phenomenon while valorizing studio. The third part made of the last and fifth chapter confronts the both styles impressionnist and realistic-poetical with a view to reveal ecological pantheism and wellbeing defence for one, then creative ideal founded on ornemental perfectionnism for the other. The conclusion confirms that realistic tradition is unchanging and tests the asceticism according which figuring nature precedes its transfiguration consecutively to space toning down. We append audiovisual supports linked to our subject, which included to the mission of museums like Orsay and Marmottan in Paris, Sceaux in Hauts-de-Seine a nearby department, promote together a genuine national patrimony

Full textThis study describes the German film market in Moselle during the annexation of the department to Nazi Germany. It analyses the local politics of cinema put in place by the new authorities (part 1), the programming of films (part 2), their circulation and their consumption by the spectators (part 3). Focusing on an anthropological approach to the cinema, it attempts to question the effectiveness of the mechanisms of cultural hegemony that are not reduced to political manipulation, nor to the implicit presentation of a worldview. The focus is on pleasure as the driving force of aesthetic behaviour and the expression of a shared sensibility.From July 1940, the cinema is completely "Germanized": the organisation of the film industry is placed under the control of the NSDAP and the films (Deutsche Wochenschau, Kulturfilm and feature films) are all screened in German. However, the cinema remains the core activity of the annexation. Cinema attendance is significant, particularly because of the quality of films that were the best in Europe before the advent of Nazism. Market analysis also shows how few propaganda films, of the kind most readily associated with Nazi cinema were shown and that Germanic cultural entertainment focused predominantly on the most successful genres (such as musicals, melodramas, historical films) and on the reputation and beauty of famous celebrities (Viktor de Kowa, Marika Rökk, Viktor Staal, Viktor Rökk, etc.)The study of German films in annexed Moselle is essentially a study of the experience of the viewers, especially the youngest of them, whose memories we have been able to revive through oral surveys. The films are a way to have fun, of escaping a coercive and repressive daily life, and the social tensions inherent in society at the time. This appropriation of film is aimed at neutralising the more dangerous ideological ideas, and the profound attachment of viewers to the German cinema in general. The gratification continues because it is the subject of exchanges, discussions, sharing. However, the systematic assimilation of all these films to Nazi ideology made it impossible to show them after the fall of the Third Reich and the end of the Second World War.Deliberately conceived as an important tool in the Germanisation of the peoples of eastern France (who were expected to become fully-fledged Germans) and to be used as a propaganda tool for Nazi ideology and a cultural showcase for Germany in annexed Moselle, cinema was a free-spirited leisure activity. The popularity of German cinema is what allowed the authorities to politically manipulate leisure-time, moreover, it was made possible through cultural play or 'homo lumens' and by caring for oneself and the esteem of others. This paradoxical ambivalence is characteristic of a cultural hegemony

It attempts to understand the development of relations between France and Germany through the prism of Leni Riefenstahl and her films, which were vehicles of an image of Germany that inspired France in the 30's, but that became unacceptable for post-war France. Through the perception of Leni Riefenstahl and her films, it is France's point of view that is put across, its view of Germany and, through a mirror effect, its own view of itself

Full textThe Italian, Spanish and Portuguese migrants were the subject of many French audiovisual performances from 1945 to 1974, conditioned by the evolution of the diplomatic relations maintained by France with the countries of origin of these populations, by the media structures in place in France and by the adjustments of the French immigration policy. After a study of types, formats and authors of these television and cinematographic representations in the first part, the second and third parts of this thesis retrace their evolutions. From the aftermath of the Liberation until 1962, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese migrants from the screens are divided between working class’ figures and born artists. The images of Spaniards evolve then according to the changes of the attitude of France toward Franco's Spain, those of Italians develop in favor of the co-production film agreements between France and Italy, while those of Portuguese remain marginal. In 1962, when television became more important, these representations crystallized and became politicized. Stereotypical figures of Italian, Spanish and Portuguese migrants assert themselves. The French government seeks to use television to evoke these favored migrations, while political exiles, Spanish and Portuguese in particular, especially artists, are more and more filmed, as the struggles and supports to immigrants

Full textToday we can realize the importance of the period between the two world wars, with the arrival - mainly in france, great britain and the united states - of the jews who have animated the german cinema. The contribution of these exiles to the cinema of the countries of refuge was decisive, aesthetically and economically. The career of max ophuls, an outstanding example, raises the question of the relations between the french cinema and the german cinema. The idea of a syncretism - utopian or real - of cultural elements of various ofigine led ophuls to look for the ways of establishing the bases of a new cultural space in europe. Studying the interactions which characterize the condition of the artist living at the junction of several cultures, we bring together the three levels of apprehension of the history of art - the art of the cinema : the economic reality of production; the socio-cultural impact, which restitutes to the work its environment and its reception; finally, the elaboration of ideas and forms, in order to restitute the stream of consciousness of a film- maker at work. Our approach is chronological : from march 1933 - when ophuls had to leave germany - to july 1941 - when he had to leave the european continent, to take refuge in the united states. After a first

Full textThrough the study of cinematographic relationships between France and the GDR from 1946 to 1992, this PhD thesis highlights how cinema constituted a meeting area between the East and the West. Initiated after the Second World War by film professionals sharing the same communist commitment, film exchanges between France and the GDR are quickly confronted with the geopolitical situation, in particular the Jack of official diplomatic relations between the two states. Thanks to several figures of conveyor, peculiar collaborations could succeed, such as the realization of coproductions, the diffusion of DEF A films in Cannes or in film clubs and the regular French participation in the festival of Leipzig. Franco-East-German film relations often go beyond the binational framework and extend to other horizons. Mao's China and the Algerian war thus constitute areas where French and East-German filmmakers look at. If France and its history inspire several DEFA films, only two French documentaries focus on the GDR, before and after May 1968. This imbalance increases even more from the l 970's onwards. The official recognition of the GDR by France in 1973 is accompanied by the institutionalization of cinematographic relationships, which simplifies the circulation of films on both sides of the Iron Curtain, while at the same time increasing its asymmetry. It is only after the fall of the Wall that France becomes interested in the fate of the former GDR, by producing several films about the post-1989 period and putting the DEFA in the limelight of festivals and retrospectives

Full textHow cinema has become a heritage in France? If the process began in the late nineteenth century, it experienced a significant acceleration after the Second World War and then benefit from the expansion of cinephilia. The institutionalization of film culture coincides with the development of dedicated museums. The Cinematheque française is one of the most representative. Its art of display is directly inherited from the interwar years cinephilia. And soon several groups decline it across the country to legitimate their passion for film. Besides a phenomenon musealization, decentralization and local appropriation of heritage related practices are observed. This create a new world of film art, in which occurs l'Affaire Langlois in 1968 and the following State decision to create a Department of Film Archives within the CNC. State thus became a full agent of safeguarding film heritage. But, by giving priority film preservation, it also broke with the previous model developed as museum is indeed organized around spectacular practices

Full textOur knowledge of French cinema from after the Second World War was built from the historical category of « qualité », the so-called « tradition de la qualité » and « qualité française ». Nevertheless, one can consider the latter as an obstacle to the historical knowledge of cinema from this period. Indeed, this category is not neutral because it results from the speeches of the « jeunes Turcs », who used it to oppose this cinema. Rather than abandoning it, it is best to reveal its meaning by questioning its origins and presenting the famous critical speech which constitute it, the « qualité » versus the « cinéma d’auteurs », within a vast discursive battle engaged since the French Liberation by the actors of the French cinema, about the support of the French State for quality films. This thesis intends to analyse this battle of quality, or the progressive implementation through speeches between 1944 and 1953 of the political model, nowadays, indissociable from Frenchcinema

Full textIn the immediate aftermath of the French liberation, theaters across the country began to project movies centered around the recent conflict. Between 1944 and 1950, World War II was the central theme of more than 302 films. However, these films came from different countries; they were not produced at the exact same time; they did not depict the conflict through the same angle; and more importantly, they did not cover the same class of war victims. Wide differences exist between a French chronicle of the Occupation and a U.S. war movie, a depiction of the homecoming of Italian prisoners and the story of soviet resistance or a narration of British citizens’ everyday life during the war. At the time, the response of the French audience and critics to these diverse movie releases varied greatly too. By studying these movies and their reception at the time of their releases, the present study informs our understanding of the emergence of the French mythology surrounding this major conflict. In three chapters, I analyze the cinematographic depictions of various groups of war victims in movies of this era, as well as the audience and critics’ response at the time. In the first chapter, I describe the theoretical underpinnings of the cinema history, as well as the narration of World War II as presented by these movies, using statistics specifically collected for this study. The two following chapters offer a series of representative case studies. I first focus on different groups of victims actively involved in the conflict: militaries on and off the front-lines, members of the resistance, and spies and assimilated individuals. I then study the non-fighting victims: civilians under the occupation, civilians living in the free zone, homecoming prisoners, members of the Jewish community and other victims of antisemitism, and finally, the children

Full textThe analysis of the content was made after 200 French films shot between 1946 and 1956 were viewed - fifty of them were subtly analysed and a hundred films support the demonstration-. The analysis is particularly focused on a central question expressed as follows : conflicting tensions between the emergence of a modern world and the permanency of an ossified society acting as a brake, an evolution being observed at the turn of the fifties. The analysis illustrates an unsecured entry in the post-war years as well as the expression of the immuability of social order. The necessary breaks occasioned by modernism and the risks of a loss of humanity are brought to light and finally taking into account different element of a modernisation which might result in solving "Jules-Douglas' paradox" : an emblematic character taken from Henri Decoin's film “Les amoureux sont seuls au monde” (1947 1948), longing for modernity but paralysed by the hasty rythm of changes

Full textThis thesis offers a cultural and historical approach about the Cannes Film Festival by emphasizing the accent on its contrasted role in promoting cinema in France from 1946 till 1972. What images intended the organizers to give about cinema and what images contributed to build the exposure and coverage of Cannes Film Festival in the various media of that time such as television, cinema newsreels and specialised press?It is therefore about to know how Cinema was perceived after the Second World War by the prism of the Festival, to evaluate how it tried to modify in France or modified effectively (which is not necessarily the same point) image, status and functions of Cinema and the relationship with native and international cinema then finally to see how medias approached the film industry current events. The research, essentially engaged from Archives Collections - such as those of Cannes Film Festival Association, television and specialist publications -, allowed to understand the various aspects of the Festival and to perceive the links which maintained the various institutions in charge of the event with Cinema.The first edition of the Festival in 1946 is the starting point of this research.

Full textDuring the summer of 1943, the Office of War Information (OWI), the main US government propaganda agency, entered into an agreement with the eight Hollywood Major studios to send forty films, five from each studio, to the European countries to be liberated. These feature films were to be screen rapidly by the allied armies after the landings.This Ph.D. dissertation examines this stock of forty films and its aim and purpose, grounding its thesis on extensive research drawn from American, Italian and French newspapers and archives. The detailed study of this particular program aims to offer a change of « focalization » and a new perspective in studies about the return of American cinema in Europe at the end of World War Two.First, in order to have a better grasp at this program, a « wide-angle lens » is used to go back to the times when American propaganda was used abroad during World War One. Then, the genesis of the program and the film selection are examined, focusing on the interests at stake for those involved in the project (the Major Hollywood companies and the OWI), on the project’s rough and complex designing process, as well as on the previous film campaign laid out for North Africa. The analysis then focuses on the forty films concerned, on the ways in which they could meet the goals of the government agency, and to what extent. Finally, the study examines the program’s implementation in Italy and in France during the Liberation, and attempts to draw a picture of the diverse reactions elicited by this selection of feature films

Full textLike other arts, the movies, under Vichy, did not escape to diverse measures of restriction that regulate its production, its distribution and its exploitation. In order to divert the attention of German and Vichyssoises authorities, many producers of this period expressed their ideas through poetic, pseudohistorical and fantastic themes. Among these is Henri-Georges Clouzot, who, in his work "The raven", knew how to make of a commonplace news item a pessimistic feeling of a whole country. Considered as the flashing movie of the occupation, "The raven" deals particularly with the individual's psychology, and evokes a general atmosphere of hatred, denunciation and jealousy

Full textBergman movies belonging to the period directly following 1950 deal with the film director progressive attempt to free herself from commonly accepted values and attitudes. In our opinion, that inward trip leads the spectator to consider the importance of Subjectivity in the Kierkegaardian way. Originally unknown, the freeing power of Subjectivity is gradually discovered by the Bergmanian characters. Three stages can be identified. In the first period movies (Summer Interlude 1951 - The Devil's Eye 1960), the characters rebel against society. Confronted with its conventions and to religious dogmatism they feel powerless and the whole situation hurts them. On the contrary, in the second period (Winter Light 1961 - The Passion of Anna 1969), the characters manage to escape objective truth. This newly conquered freedom opens the way to the concept of choice in the Bergmanian world and consequently to anguish. Moreover the characters are confronted with the experience of losing all reference to common values and they are submitted to various types of violence. During the third period (The Touch 1971 - After the Rehearsal 1984) the characters try to develop the ability to take upon themselves the responsability for their own existence. To be a fully self recognized subject becomes an essential prerequisite. The final stage of the subject freedom is determined by the repetition Gjentagelsen" : endless progression and new beginnings

Full textAlthough French cinema from the period following World War Two is known for being largely apolitical, its images of criminal justice allow for a glimpse of the difficult questions that the postwar society was forced to ask itself about its return to the rule of law. As a point of conflict between the individual and the state—in a state attempting to reestablish its legitimacy—criminal justice was a delicate subject for filmmakers to address, especially since the cinematic medium, still seen as a means of propaganda and associated with totalitarian regimes, was strictly monitored and censored by public authorities. Using a corpus of 40 feature-length fiction films, this study attempts to analyze the representations of law enforcement, courts, prisons, crime, and punishment in the most important mass media of the era, before the transformation of the film industry by the New Wave and the spread of television to a substantial audience. A range of primary sources, from film reviews in the press to public censorship archives and newsreels dealing with similar themes, help to place the feature films’ images of criminal justice in their historical context. Often depoliticized, sometimes propagandistic, occasionally subversive, the films reveal the possibilities and the limits of expression on an intrinsically political topic, in the film industry and more broadly in 1940s and 1950s French society. They expose the morals, ideals, taboos, hopes and fears of a nation that had recently reestablished democracy but faced difficult questions about the violence of its own methods of maintaining order

Full textOur research examines the encounter of cineasts with May 1968. In the context of May 68, the term “cineast” encompasses all professionals that perform an activity related to cinema. The analysis starts from the mobilization of 1500 cineasts and takes into account their professional, political, social and generational diversity. Considering these as well as the films produced during the Etats Généraux du cinema, our interest lies in revealing the complexity of an event often often reduced to a question of cause and effect, and in enlarging the view on cinema often reduced to the directors and the films. The focus resides in articulating the short time of the event in a longer time, at different scales from three angles. The first angle addresses how this professional sphere is structured in affinities and in antagonisms. Then we move into questioning the relations to authority without polishing the ambivalences (how the dependences are accepted and criticized as well). The last angle attempts to capture the political legitimacy of cineasts and of their media while getting into how cineasts consider the different ways of intervening in the public space. From these three perspectives, we go back to 1956 and gain a broader view on May 68 by “deterritorializing” it and asking how instead of the usual why. We then reveal how the event has unfolded, its hectic circumstances, its uncertainty and the various ways it has been subsequently experienced. Finally we show the paths constructed in reference to May 68 and analyze how the meaning of the event has evolved at the decennial commemorations and how the films of the Etats Généraux du cinema have been utilised

Full textThis study explains why and how the popular State Education contributed to the emergence of a genre, called “parable film”, within the context of a propaganda cinema in France between the interwar years. Competing with the charities of the Employers and of the Church, the teachers of the State Education took in hand the leisure of the working-class and farming-class families within associations federated by the Ligue de l’enseignement. Offices of the “educational cinema” constituted a vast network which did the propaganda of French culture and of the political ideas of the Cartel des gauches, and then of the Popular Front [part I]. With their entertaining and educational aims, these offices favoured narrative and argumentative non-fiction feature films, such as those directed by Jean Benoit-Lévy. Those “parable films” are studied according to a method of analysis which offers theoretical viewpoints on the study of the genres [! part II]. Eventually, this work consists in leading in a complementary way history of “educational cinema” and the study of the “parable film” genre in order to consider how a sociocultural context popular State Education cinema and a mode of production of meaning the parable are linked with propaganda aims

Full textThese days, in France, Asian cinema is usually considered as a kind of geographical and cultural entity. This vision is limiting because it does not take into account the entire entity of "Asian cinema". To understand it, it is necessary to focus on the way it has been accepted in France : going back to its discovery in 1951 with the film "Rashomon", following the evolution of its professional recognition, and its popular success with Kung Fu films at the end of the 70s. By following every step of its development, the aim of our study is to identify the process of exploitation, understanding and promotion of a foreign cinema style in France. More precisely, it will allow us to discover how films are distributed and how different cultures play a role in appreciating these films

Full textThis thesis explores the emergence and the evolution of the cinema as a building type. It examines two hundred projects submitted to the Parisian administration for obtaining construction permits, from 1907 to 1939. These projects are analyzed according to four major criteria: localization, protagonists, architectural design and their reception. At the beginning of the Second World War, Parisian cinemas were mostly built through three waves of constructions subsequent to historical events: emergence of narrative cinema (1907-1913), end of the First World War (1919-1920), arrival of talkies (1931-1938). These three waves correspond with three successive phases in the rise of the new building type: experimentation, theorization, modernization. This study demonstrates that an original building type has been created since 1907, which is architecturally characterized by the trio of projection- visibility-appeal. From this original type different pieces are derived, that despite their variations are all a blind shed less or more judiciously designed and decorated for a show projected on the screen, a blind box covered by an attractive and expressive façade

Full textPost-war Italian cinema has its rightful place in history under the label of "neorealism". It is a pantheonisation that is still difficult to question today, which often schematises the image of this cinema in an arbitrary manner. One of the peculiarities of this current is its ease of adaptation beyond the Alps: indeed, this film movement has sparked off a very virulent debate in France, which has seen the participation of all strata of the intelligentsia. The neo-realist canon was consolidated on the basis of a handful of films andthanks to the critical work of a few committed intellectuals, as well as the popular press. The editors of specialised magazines and daily newspapers have the privilege of a primacy of gaze on transalpine cinematic novelties: most often outside the traditional distribution channels, within the many film clubs operating in the Parisian context, critics, journalists and writers discover a cinema that they soon call the "Italian school". These observations force us to question several stereotypes about this cinema: shooting in the street, nonprofessional actors and current affairs subjects do not prevent post-war Italian cinema from following in the footsteps of what was, after all, a traditional production. These conclusions make it necessary today to return to the critical debates of the immediate post-war period with a new and impartial look, in order to deepen the complexity of the process of reception of neorealism

Full textMovie stars came into being at the end of the 1900s and the beginning of the 1910s, but it is notuntil the end of the First World War that the star system became a reality in France, thanks to the creation of the first fan magazines. Regarding the economic, social and cultural aspects of the phenomenon, which covers every area of the cinema (from production to reception), this thesis studies how the French star system was established between 1919 and the Fall of France in June1940. At the beginning of the period the American movies and their stars dominate in France; instark contrast, the difficulties of French cinema are related to the weakness of its stars – its“vedettes” as the French say. Twenty years later, French movie stars have become unquestionably popular and they play a key part in the film industry, although they are involved in a system very different from the Hollywood one, which still fascinates French people. In the middle of this period, there occurred the transition to sound, an evolution whose impact on thestar system this thesis tries to determine precisely. Thus, this research in cultural history compares the way the French system and its rivals are seen, and it analyses both discourses and practices in order to explain the representations and the issues related to the movie star system in France during the period

Full textA major source for history of cinema, the early French film press however still remains a vast, unexplored continent. With a body of research composed of twelve film magazines spanning over the 1908-1940 period, this thesis aims to study the technical, economical and social factors involved in the birth and evolution of the French film press over three decades. Contemplated as a press organization, in its collective dimension, each film magazine is subject to a methodical study of its identity, specifications and various mutations – administrative, technical, economical, formal and editorial – incurred. The main ambition of this thesis is to propose a history of press as well as of journalists. The study thus aims to define the profession of journalist and film critic, as it is perceived in this period by the film corporation and the journalists and critics themselves. This fonction also defines itself through the creation of professional associations, the history and adventures of which this research hopes it has illuminated. The pursued purpose is also to contribute in a better knowledge of the men, journalists and critics, remaining mainly unrecognized to this day despite being major figures of their time, who participated in the creation of the specialized press and the formulation of a critical thought about cinema, in the 1900s-1930s
