Book Description
Written by two of the leading film scholars, Film History: An Introduction, is the long-awaited, comprehensive survey that not only acknowledges the contributions of Hollywood and films from other U.S. sources, but broadens its scope to examine filmmaking internationally. As with the authors' bestselling Film Art, Fifth Edition, concepts and events are illustrated with actual frame enlargements, giving students more realistic points of reference than competing books that use publicity stills. Any serious film scholar -- professor, undergraduate, or graduate student -- will want to see and keep Film History.

Reader Reviews
I used this book in a film studies class about four years ago and I kept it because of the wealth of information. For the first time I understood the different epochs of film not only in the U.S. but also around the world. I was introduced to a wider variety of international film and the work of Eisenstein, Renoir, Kurosawa, and others. I highly recommend this book for the concise language, easy explanations, and beautiful black and white and color reproductions from many films. This book is a page turner.
