AB  - Ondřej Belica's review presents Benoît Turquet's book Inventing Cinema, which uses the concept of machine epistemology to map in detail the history of film technologies and processes of technical invention from pre-film devices to early cinematography. The reviewer praises the author's extraordinary historiographical diligence, but also points out the high level of difficulty of the text and the untapped potential for a deeper comparison with the digital era.
