The writing of cinema history would not be possible without the contribution of collectors. Whether through their pioneering excavation work or their passionate defence of forgotten productions and artifacts, collectors have had a lasting influence on both the field and the methods of moving image history. Proceeding from a renewed dialogue between international film scholars, collectors, filmmakers, curators, and archivists, this book aims to reveal the extent to which collectors and collections have contributed to both the history and the epistemology of moving images. It showcases specific studies of collecting practices, as well as in-depth interviews with collectors and artists bringing to light the innumerable articulations between collecting cinema and the rewriting of film history.

André Habib is a full professor of Film Studies at the Université de Montréal and director of the web journal Hors champ. His areas of research have focused on found footage filmmaking and the archive, experimental cinema, cinephilia and, more recently, technostalgia, intermediality and melancholy. Louis Pelletier teaches film history and film preservation at Université de Montréal. He holds a PhD in Communication from Concordia University, where he is research coordinator of the Canadian Educational, Sponsored and Industrial Film project. He has published on film history, useful cinema and film technology in many journals. Jean-Pierre Sirois-Trahan is the director of the program of cinema and digital culture of the Département de littérature, théâtre et cinéma at the Université Laval. He is interested in early cinema and he is currently working on the concept of découpage and the cinema of Georges Méliès.
