The Film Handbook by
'The Film Handbook' examines the current status of filmmaking, how film is produced and distributed and its relation with today's digital and web-based climate. It reflects on how critical analysis of film underpins practice and story, and how developing an autonomous 'vision' will best aid creativity.
Encyclopedia of Religion and Film by
Religion has played a significant role in film for as long as the art form has existed. However, scholarly interest in film's religious content has recently increased, expanding beyond traditional high art films to the more widely distributed and commercially successful movies. Even the 1975 cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show has religious relevance.
The Encyclopedia of Early Cinema by
This encyclopedia presents a wealth of information on early cinema history, with coverage of the techniques and equipment of film production, profiles of the pioneering directors and producers, analysis of individual films and the rapid growth of distinct film genres, and the emergence of something the world had never seen before - the movie star. The work also focuses on how the nature of film exhibition changed as the industry grew, and how the public's reception to films also changed. The pre-cinema period is closely examined to show those mass-cultural forms and practices - such as music hall and vaudeville - from within which cinema was to emerge. A perfect companion for any student of early cinema and film studies.
An Encyclopedic Dictionary of Women in Early American Films by
This is an A-Z reference guide that dispels the myth that men dominated the film industry during its formative years. Denise Lowe presents a rich collection that profiles many of the women who were crucial to the development of cinema as an industry - and as an art form.
