Film Theory: The Basics provides an accessible introduction to the
key theorists, concepts, and debates that have shaped the study of
moving images. It examines film theory from its emergence in the
early twentieth century to its study in the present day, and
explores why film has drawn special attention as a medium, as a
form of representation, and as a focal point in the rise of modern
visual culture. The book emphasizes how film theory has developed
as a historically contingent discourse, one that has evolved and
changed in conjunction with different social, political, and
intellectual factors. To explore this fully, the book is broken
down into the following distinct sections: Theory Before Theory,
1915-1960 French Theory, 1949-1968 Screen Theory, 1969-1996
Post-Theory, 1996-2015 Complete with questions for discussion and a
glossary of both key terms and key theorists, Film Theory: The
Basics is an invaluable resource for those new to film studies and
for anyone else interested in the history and significance of
critical thinking in relation to the moving image.
