Originální abstrakt

This audiovisual essay asks what kind of object a digitised analogue film is and argues for understanding it as a material, historical, and aesthetic artefact in its own right. Focusing on early Czech films by Jan Kříženecký (1898–1911) digitised by the National Film Archive in Prague, it examines how non-intrusive digitisation makes visible the interplay between photochemical processes and digital tools. Using a doubled “desktop documentary” method that combines screen-based analysis with physical manipulation of printed frames, the essay explores how accidental material features generate specific aesthetic effects. It proposes the digitised analogue film as a malleable object whose meaning emerges through circulation between virtual and physical environments.
