So within a few decades their may well be a Mr. Film. Or a Mousier Film, or a Herr Film, or even, if the masters are perticularly desperate a Fuhrer of flim.
Like as not Mr. Veils will, in time, lay claim to the name “Mr. Film”.
On what basis? Film theaters don’t even have curtains!

Ah, but Mr. Veils’s metier is not primarily cloth, but entertainment, especially of a frivolous nature. Film certainly qualifies, as does prostitution (ably supplied to FL by him via Sinning Jenny and her ladies).

Are you sure you don’t mean Mr Wines? Mr Wines is the Master who specializes in frivolous entertainments, hobnobs with Bohemians, and owns the Parlor of Virtue. Mr Veils is only really into cloth and murder…
Somehow both wildly off-topic and relevant:[li]
http://blog.plover.com/2017/02/21/#anagram-scoring
Happened across that article today, and TL;DR it decides the best anagram pair in the English dictionary is:
CINEMATOGRAPHER
anagrams to
MEGACHIROPTERAN
Clearly this is an indication that the Masters will get along famously with the movie business. :)
AU where the Masters are all cinematographers instead of megachiropterans
They can be both. Presumably each genre of film with have its own master. So they’ll be a Mr. action, Mr. Rom Com (that’s probably wines) Mr. Heist film (stones) Mr. underdog sports story likely having a blemmigan player Mr. this thing is popular right now lets make a movie about it that will come out at least year after all interest has faded, Mr. found footage flims etc. etc.
Wouldn’t the Masters be more like the advertisers who sustain the mediums of film and television and use them to saturate the living world with images of their commodities?

Mr Cheap Pulpy Sci-FivB-Movie Starring Some Guy in a Rubber Suit is CLEARLY the best one
Wait until someone tries to make a movie like that with huge, terrifying bats as the monsters

Like the situation depicted in "Shadow of the Vampire" but with the Vake instead of Nosferatu. That could get… messy.

Audiences want realism.[/li]
The NEEDS to happen, Failbetter. Please?
Also: We need Apples and Mrs. Plenty running a snack bar.
And another thought: You wouldn’t need to use special effects for all but the goriest (decapitations, severe dismemberments, eviscerations) of death scenes.
One more: Fires is in charge of the projectors, Mirrors is in charge of film stock, Pages is in charge of screenwriting and censorship (through Ministry of Public Decency), Veils runs the picture houses and actual film production, and Apples does the snacks. There are too many good ideas here.
Last one, I promise. Querry: would it be just as bad to bring a camera (cinematographic or otherwise) into the Labyrinth of Tigers as it would a mirror?
It seems worth mentioning that "moving pictures" make an appearance in one of the new chess options, wherein one tries to recall a particular Surface memory acquired in the Nadir. It appears the train has arrived well ahead of its schedule.

[quote=ProfessorDetective]Last one, I promise. Querry: would it be just as bad to bring a camera (cinematographic or otherwise) into the Labyrinth of Tigers as it would a mirror?[/quote]The single-lens reflex (SLR) camera, invented in 1861 and put into commercial production in 1884, uses a mirror. NO PHOTOGRAPHY. VIOLATORS WILL BE DEVOURED.
But how might Fingerkings react to being photographed? I think I have an idea.
- Fingerkings are from Parabola, the place where "is-not" is.
- Fingerkings can reach the Neath through mirrors.
- A person possessed (or otherwise body-snatched) by Fingerkings has reptilian eyes.
- The Gallery of Serpents is a prison for "Many-Fingered Kings", filled with wooden sculptures of unnatural creatures.
What if Fingerkings travel through the Neath by means of depiction? Mirrors present an image of the world; Fingerkings enter the world through mirrors. Eyes present an image to the mind; if someone has lost their mind to Fingerkings, the serpentine influence can be seen in their eyes. A wooden sculpture presents a frozen, immobile image of a thing; Fingerkings can be imprisoned in a place of wooden sculptures. A dream can be made real in an image. Might the same be true of the Many-Fingered Kings?
A photograph is a static image, and may thus be able to imprison Fingerkings in the same manner as a wooden sculpture. An SLR camera would transport the Fingerking to a mirror, from which it could escape back to Parabola before its image was projected onto the film.
Mr Wines supplies the actors, actresses, and sets. Maybe the picture houses instead of Veils?
It seems the odd one out would be Mr Spices?
