Films have been adapted into print from the very beginning of the medium, and the practice continues in different forms. In the decade between 1955 and 1965, the most popular adaptation format in Europe, first in Italy, then in France, was the film photonovel, a format directly inspired by the success of the photonovel. Reusing film stills and on-set photographs, film photonovels retell a complete story across roughly 50 pages and 300 images, combining speech balloons for dialogue with captions for voice-over. They resemble photonovels in appearance, but their layout and narrative logic are distinctly their own. This exhibition traces the history and specific features of this long-forgotten medium, attending to the wide diversity of magazines that brought some of the great American and European films of the era into print.
