Northeast Historic Film thinks about the aesthetics of nontheatrical film
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
The visual and literary imagery of old New England became a national commodity, successfully marketed by a powerful publishing industry, a cultural elite of critics and editors closely allied with their artists and writers, both inside and outside the region, for a hundred years and more.
Interwar amateur film has never been a commodity in this way. Each unique reel was made for personal use, not shown, critiqued, exposed to public view or assessment since.
