Magical History Tour – Color in Film

Slightly more than a year after we re-launched the Magical History Tour, we again address the first theme: color in film - a good opportunity to catch up on what one missed, to discover new films, and again deal with the development of color film, one of the most significant aesthetic innovations in cinematography. Color in film is an important component of the organization of images and the filmic dramaturgy, and also a basic element of filmic perception. With eight full-length and sixteen short films - examples of viraged and hand-colored films, and shot on the most various material from Technicolor to Eastmancolor - we give a brief overview of the wide range of treating and utilizing color in cinema, between being ascribed to a narration and retaining autonomy.
