First sentence: The Film d'Art Carmen of 1910 was one of a number of films in which the Film d'Art company sought to give cultural status to the new medium of film through the high-art connotations of opera, effecting a natural transference of the melodramatic stage-style of opera to the newly evolving dramatic language of silent film.
