Description

For undergraduate courses in Introduction to Film and Film History in departments of English, Communication and Theatre.

Flashback is a succinct history of film from the 1890s to the present that examines the art of film as well as the dynamics and influence of the motion picture business, ever changing technology, and the impact of these movies on their audiences. This Sixth Edition provides instructors and students with a comprehensive overview of film history that is reader friendly, well illustrated with photos from key movies, and flexibly organized.

Features

With a reader-friendly prose throughout, Flashback is highly accessible for students, and helps to increase their understanding of essential terms.
Encompasses the entire film spectrum, both American and foreign, from the 1890s to the 2000s.
Includes hundreds of still photographs, many never before reprinted, to facilitate discussions on visual style and major actors.

New To This Edition

NEW! Inclusion of two new chapters, International Cinema Since 2000 and American Cinema Since 2000, highlights major developments in cinema around the globe since the new millennium. The text now includes such recent titles as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; Borat; No Country for Old Men; There Will Be Blood; Batman: The Dark Knight; and Horton Hears a Who!
Each chapter contains a newly designed and revised historical timeline which highlights major political, social, cultural, and film events for the ten-year period.
A comprehensive pull-out timeline allows students to view the progression of both world events and film events at a glance–a great study tool!
