Summary
Traces the evolution of film as a creative medium through critical analyses of the men and techniques which have transformed it from a simple recording device to a complex form of art
Amazon.com description: Product Description: With each chapter updated and containing new photographs, this is the revised edition of Professor Bruce Kawin's revised edition of Gerald Mast's text. This book offers students and fans a panoramic picture of the worldwide development of film - from the early Mack Sennet and Charlie Chaplin shorts, through the 1930s and '40s, through the "Hollywood Renaissance" of the 1960s and 1970s to the provocative pictures appearing in today's multiplexes. "A Short History of the Movies" presents a thorough, all-emcompassing examination of the evolution of this "new art" - through its various styles, periods, genres, and works.
