The primitive period therefore ends with the transition from short films to feature films. This era is also that of the modification of the balance of forces between French production, until then economically dominant, and American production. This is also the time when firms begin to set up in Hollywood, which will develop very quickly during the war of 1914-1918.
In its beginnings, American cinema was the subject of rivalries. Thomas Edison, in particular, attempted to eliminate competition by patenting the Vitascope. The creation, in 1908, of the Motion Pictures Patents Company (MPPC) temporarily put an end to this situation by guaranteeing its members – which included Edison as well as the French Pathé and Méliès – a monopoly on the production and distribution of films. . But a group of independents fell under the banner of Carl Laemmle (1867-1939), Adolph Zukor (1873-1976) and William Fox (1879-1952): they decided to produce their own films and to install in California, far from the MPPC studios – which will soon be declared illegal under antitrust law. Their choice is set on Hollywood, which is then a small town with plenty of sunshine.
During the First World War, film production in Europe was virtually halted. It was then that Hollywood became the world capital of cinema. A series of mergers and takeovers led to the founding of the major studios, which would dominate the American film industry for around forty years. Following the path opened by the filmmaker and producer Thomas Harper Ince (1882-1924), the studios based their power on the quantity of films produced, on the choice of scenarios flattering the public's taste and on advertising campaigns orchestrated around the stars of the screen, the stars.<end_of_turn><eos>
