Features: In the original intention of publishing "Cinema Museum," it was meant to create a dialogue space about film, film history, film authors, and film theory. I believe this is also what I expect from the series "Transit." The coexistence of a diverse era and a monologue cultural structure is perhaps one of the greatest paradoxes of our time. Through film, we return to the 20th century, attempting to understand and explore the diverse world and expressions of the new century, as well as multiple possibilities of life and multiple dimensions of existence. This book is a special publication by Cahiers du Cinéma to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of cinema, featuring contributions from multiple senior film critics who jointly wrote it to recreate the growth journey of cinema over a century. The book selects 100 days of special significance in the development of cinema, recreating the dramatic developments from Edison's simple imaging technology to the late 20th century when cinema became an important part of social life. It brings back the moments of inspiration or undercurrents, events, and intersections from the century-long history of cinema for film enthusiasts.
