Why God created Cimema?
The story of the Projected-Image goes back to the down of the Homo sapiens.
On the first time when Adam dared to pick up a burning branch of wood he discovered a Wonderful Phenomenon: by throwing the light radiating from the fire of the burning branch on a surface, and by blocking the light by certain objects, he might cast series of lights and shadows on the wall of his cave and shape them into figures.

From now on it was only a matter of scientific and technologic development, from Flickering Shadows to Modern Digital Magic Boxes.

Sentimental journeys of the big-eyed sightseer: Tourism and the early cinema - The representation of the tourist in the American cinema,1903-04, to reflect on the evident popularity of some kinds of travelogue in an entertainment milieu that marked by a variety of ethnic and national stereotypes, and finally to point out what appears to have been a correspondence of sorts between the rising tourist industry and an emerging continuous action film narrative, a correspondence in which the image of Thomas Cook begins to merge with that of Adolph Zukor.
