Quotations are a standard way that the humanities make meaning; the pull-quote, epigraph, and quotation are standard for citing evidence and invoking and interrogating authority in both literary and scholarly writing. However, film studies has yet to seriously examine how moving images can quote one another, convening interaction and creating new knowledge across time. 'Classical Projections' offers 'film quotation' as a new concept for understanding how preexisting moving image fragments are reframed and re-viewed within subsequent films. As a visual corollary to literary quotation, film quotations embed film fragments in on-screen movie screens. Though film quotations have appeared since silent cinema, 'Classical Projections' focuses on quotations of classical Hollywood film-mainstream American studio production, 1915-1950 - as quoted in post-classical Hollywood, roughly 1960 to present.
