Studying Film is an all-encompassing guide to cinema and film which explores the key concepts, terms and events that have shaped film study and criticism. This is explored through a fascinating discussion of classic and contemporary movies from around the world, from The Great Train Robbery to Pulp Fiction via Un Chien Andalou and Cinema Paradiso.
This accessible introduction to the study of film aims to stimulate students' enjoyment and understanding of a wide range of different types of film, and to give them an awareness of the nature of cinema as a medium, as an art form, and as a social and economic institution.
Contemporary film is seen in context by tracing its development from 1895 to the present, exploring film production in a variety of countries in a range of styles, and comparing film to other media. This second edition includes a substantially expanded chapter on World cinema, featuring more on Bollywood, Nollywood and Latin American cinema. In addition, all statistics on cinema attendance have been updated and more contemporary films are discussed.
