The Birth of the Film Industries
How cinema, once a fairground curiosity, became a real business — in several places, almost at the same time: the divas who built, and sometimes carried with them, the fate of an entire industry. From Cinecittà in Italy to Hollywood, all the way to the Shanghai of Ruan Lingyu, the most important star of Chinese silent cinema. A lesson on who turned cinema into a business, starting from who turned it into spectacle.
