Article: The Raw Materials of Celluloid Film: Wartime Economy, Educational Animation, and Film’s Plasticity
Abstract
Based on the propagandistic educational film DIE WELTGESCHICHTE ALS KOLONIALGESCHICHTE (1926), the article explores animation techniques as a specific form of knowledge transfer and shows how these were intertwined with the material properties of celluloid. Focusing on the raw materials of celluloid film, the article further examines the eco-political circumstances of film stock production in the context of the wartime economy of World War I.
