FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Danish silent film actress Asta Nielsen became a brand name in movie houses around the globe in the early 1900s. Known simply as "The Asta," she exhibited both a subtle eroticism and a naturalistic style in her performances, which propelled her into international stardom. Nielsens worldwide fame was made possible by film distributors adept at contracting long runs for films in cinemas around the world. This volume examines the role of these newly developed film distribution strategies and the resulting emergence of the international film star. Author Biography Martin Loiperdinger is Professor of Media Studies at the University of Trier. His publications on early cinema include articles, books, television shows, exhibitions, and DVDs.
