History of Film offers a concise yet comprehensive survey of cinema’s artistic and technical milestones worldwide. It traces the evolution from early experiments with moving images to the rise of narrative storytelling that defines modern film.

The narrative unfolds through the pioneering efforts of silent-era visionaries and the classical techniques of D. W. Griffith, then moves into Golden Age Hollywood, Italian Neorealism and the groundbreaking auteurs of the French New Wave.

In this second edition, new chapters examine developments from the mid-1990s onward, including experiments in three-dimensional formats, a resurgence of animation and the impact of digital technology on production and distribution across Poland, China, Korea, Mexico and beyond.
