Film History: An Introduction
Product Description
Written by two of the leading scholars in film studies, Film History: An Introduction is a comprehensive, global survey of the medium that covers the development of every genre in film, from drama and comedy to documentary and experimental. As with the authors’ bestselling Film Art: An Introduction (now in its eighth edition), concepts and events are illustrated with frame enlargements taken from the original sources, giving students more realistic points of reference than competing books that rely on publicity stills.
The third edition of Film History is thoroughly updated and includes the first comprehensive overviews of the impact of globalization and digital technology on the cinema. Any serious film scholar–professor, undergraduate, or graduate student–will want to read and keep Film History.

This book is in very good condition. I actually can’t remember if I bought it new or used. What I do remember is that it got lost. It was actually the Post Office’s fault, but the seller was very insistent on not taking any blame. This seller said that our loss – theirs and mine – (when it was missing) was the same, and that they shouldn’t have to take the fall. I disagreed. The tone changed after the book was found, but in a situation like this, a buyer wants to feel that the situation is unfortunate but it will be taken care of. I probably would not purchase again from this seller.

Due to a change of plans I didn’t use this book this quarter. However, hearing from my follow film students this book details well about the history of film and not just North American film. All film. A must for a film student.
