FANEDITOR'S NOTE:
At a time when digital technology has completely replaced "old-school" special effects, allowing directors to push the boundaries of entertainment that has never been seen before on screen, particularly in fantasy cinema, why offer an issue entirely dedicated to silent fantasy cinema? Quite simply because silent fantasy cinema is the basis, the foundation that allowed the emergence of these new technologies that would appear decades later. And then, when you call yourself a fan of fantasy cinema, you have to start at the beginning, right? Discovering the works that shaped this type of cinema, getting to know these directors who, with the means at hand, managed to offer the audience of the time new experiences that were again never seen before, and taking part in the very evolution of cinematographic technique and fantasy cinema in particular, isn't that a fascinating and exciting journey? I would answer this question in the affirmative, of course, and I therefore invite you, through the pages, to immerse yourself in a strange and unusual universe, teeming with ideas, which will make you participate in the creation of science fiction cinema, fantasy cinema, fairy-tale cinema, and horror cinema. Sounds tempting, doesn't it?
