Written in an engaging narrative style, this text provides a thorough overview of the fascinating intersection of economics, culture, artistry and technology that has defined American film from its beginnings. The Second Edition features a NEW four-colour design, hundreds of new images, greater emphasis on film analysis, increased coverage of women and minority filmmakers and an epilogue that speculates on the future of film.
