While the genre was highly popular early in the decade, by the late 1950s large studios were either abandoning science fiction or releasing cheap independent productions. Facing this situation, Paramount turned The Blob into a much-discussed success largely because of the way it framed its potential audience, not simply aiming at a youth demographic, but positioning that audience as highly aware of the exploitation that usually surrounded the film industry's treatment of both the genre and the youth market.","PeriodicalId":426632,"journal":{"name":"Film History: An International Journal","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124062464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It provides a typological account of khudozhniki, assessing the conventions that were common among them rather than circumstances that were specific to individuals. In its focus on set design as a practice, this article seeks to demonstrate how available technology, the studio environment, and professional partnerships, as much as the creative visions of individuals, shaped the evolution of film aesthetics and influenced contemporary understandings of cinema's artistic and ideological potential.","PeriodicalId":426632,"journal":{"name":"Film History: An International Journal","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131419389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though scholars characterize the women in later screwball comedies as uniquely progressive for dominating their courtships with men, this assertive heroine first flourished in the 1910s as part of a larger industry effort to craft feature-length comedies for female viewers. As the film industry increasingly relied upon romantic comedies for feature-length humor, depictions of sexually aggressive women shifted from grotesque inconveniences to modern role models. The films' reliance upon changing dating practices complicates notions of silent situation comedies' genteel humor.","PeriodicalId":426632,"journal":{"name":"Film History: An International Journal","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121974222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
