dc.description.abstractAccording to many early film theorists, the novelty and aesthetic potential of film was based on montage – something which lost its edge when film was taken over by the ‘talkie’ in the late 1920s. Theorists of the 1920s also accentuated the originality of slapstick as a form of expression. These days an incredible number of clips with moving images circulate in social media, often based on slapstick, but even more on not just montages made by the people who make these films, but also the machinery itself which distributes and cuts together this spectacle.
