Description
Summary:	This article addresses the reciprocal influence between film and the other arts (among which literature) in the modernist period. It starts from a brief survey of the mentions of film in turn-of-the-century literature and moves to an evocation of film’s autonomy and influence on literature, more specifically on the works of Woolf, Joyce and Beckett among others. It also focuses on the relationship between film and theatre and on various areas of recent critical development centring on the institutions of modernity, (female) audiences, etc.
