Film teachers and students will welcome this new anthology, which
makes available in one source a comprehensive selection of recent
theoretical work on film, including many articles difficult to
locate in the scattered literature. The contents are drawn almost
entirely from the publications of the past fifteen years, and
include work by the most original film thinkers - some well known
to a wide public, some widely known among readers of film journals.
Several important filmmakers are also represented. The materials
have been grouped in critical categories reflecting recent
approaches to the medium. In place of older questions such as the
relation of film to other arts, or film's ability to capture an
imprint of reality, the questions emphasized in the anthology
concern film's ideological operations, the nature of film genres,
the role of the auteur in the creative process, the representation
of social groups (such as women) in film, the logical of narrative
and formal organizations in films, the treatment of films as myths,
and new theoretical perspectives. Thus the contents reflect the use
of political, structualist, semiological and psychoanalytic
methods, as well as those of more traditional criticism. There is
virtually no duplication of materials included in the Mast &
Cohen anthology "Film Theory and Criticism". The editor has
provided an overall general introduction, and mini-introductions to
each text. A glossary of terms used in structuralist-semiological
work is included, and lists of additional readings are provided.
Its scope and careful organization will make this volume a
fundamental resource for film scholarship and teaching.
