ABSTRACT
This chapter examines a hybrid media apparatus, the Cinématographe Mixte, advertised by the French firm of Mazo in their 1912/13 catalogue, which could project both still and moving images. This apparatus bears witness to a form of still and moving image practice, in particular illustrated lectures, that differed from the dominant form of film exhibition in commercial movie theatres. In this chapter, the Cinématographe mixte is considered from a media archaeological viewpoint, shifting the focus of cinema historiography from theatrical to non-theatrical presentations.
