MULTIPLE VERSIONS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SOUND ERA:
FILM AND OTHER MEDIA
II MAGIS - GRADISCA INTERNATIONAL FILM STUDIES SPRING SCHOOL
Gradisca d’Isonzo, March 22 – April 2, 2004




  MAGIS - Gradisca International Film Studies Spring School is promoted by the
Università degli Studi di Udine, in collaboration with: Universiteit van Amsterdam,
Universität Bremen, Università della Svizzera Italiana di Lugano, Università Cattolica del
Sacro Cuore di Milano, Université Sorbonne Nouvelle - Paris III, Università degli Studi di
Pisa, Univerzita Karlova Prague, Universitat de València, CineGraph, Hamburg, Cineteca
del Friuli, Cineteca del Comune di Bologna. MAGIS is an Intensive Program financed by
the European Community and belonging to the Socrates Exchange Program.

  MAGIS focuses on Cinema and Other Media. In its second edition, it intends to pro-
vide a continuing opportunity for international meetings between academic scholars,
young researchers, film historians and theoreticians, film preservers, restorers and
archivists. The main aim is to offer advanced training in film studies through close
exchanges between universities and film archives. Ph.D. and advanced students, young
researchers, film archivists and preservers may enter the school.

  From this perspective, Gradisca International Film Studies Spring School second edi-
tion, plans to further its research on Multiple Versions, started in 2003. This distinct
phase, usually seen during the shift from silent to sound film, sheds light above all on
the relationship between cinema and other media. The changes that occurred during
the shift from one system to another underscore important issues concerning the dif-
ferent forms of film text: technology employed, production infrastructures, national
and supranational production modes, concepts of text and author. The phenomenon of
multiple versions remains a basic problem today, still little known and relatively unde-
tected in historical, theoretical and archival points of view.
  MAGIS second edition will explore the following areas of research:

  Film text philology and restoration: the issue of multiple versions;
  Sound technologies: sounds from the radio, the film set, and recordings. Elements for
a comparative technological historiography;
  Production structures and infrastructures: silent and sound cinema technologies;
  Star models: the multiple versions paradox;
  National and international narrative models: genres, cycles, series, formats in differ-
ent media and cultures;
  Cinema, popular press, and comics: multiple versions and intermedia adaptations.
