They are architectural places that generate virtual spacesworlds built to build worlds. Yet, despite being icons of corporate identity, studios have faded into the background of critical discourse and into the margins of film and media history. In response, In the Studio demonstrates that when we foreground these worlds, we gain new insights into moving-image culture and the dynamics that quietly mark the worlds on our screens. Spanning the twentieth century and moving globally, this unique collection tells new stories about studio iconsPinewood, Cinecittà, Churubusco, and CBSas well as about the experimental workplaces of filmmakers and artists from Aleksandr Medvedkin to Charles and Ray Eames and Hollis Frampton.    \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Consumers in the 1930s understood the importance of the studio; \u003ci\u003eIn the Studio\u003c\/i\u003e argues that contemporary scholars of film and media studies should follow suit.
