In this lively and up-to-date analysis, David Parkinson traces the
evolution of the moving image from the earliest shadow shows to
the digital filmmaking of the twenty-first century. Covering the key
elements and players that have contributed to its artistic and technical
development, the book offers a concise overview of film throughout
the world.
Beginning with the origins of the movies, it assesses the achievements
of an international body of filmmakers. A new chapter maps
the developments in form and technology across the world from
the mid-1990s to today, examining among other things experiments
in three-dimensionality, the revival of animation, the democratization
of filmmaking following the digital revolution, and the impact of
DVDs and the download market in exponentially widening access
and audiences.
