Martin Loiperdinger is Professor of Media Studies at Trier University and has published articles, books, television shows, exhibitions, and DVDs on the topic of early cinema.

"[T]oday's programming of early cinema... has to consider the audience if it wants to be successful in making the visual heritage available to as many people as possible. Early Cinema Today shows in a fascinating, versatile, and refreshing way how this can be implemented... [This book] provides practitioners with innovative ideas on how to engage potential audiences, while providing scholars with valuable insight into how film archivists and curators shape perceptions of early cinema and, through this, the direction of film scholarship." ?The Moving Image

"[This] collection presents a wide range of approaches to the programming of early film, both historically and in the present-day context, while sounding a vibrant and timely call to review the relation that has evolved between scholars, archivists, and film programmers in matters relating to the programming of early cinema today." ?Film History0Preface Martin Loiperdinger
