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.
Ideal for students, educators and adult enthusiasts, this edition remains the definitive guide to cinema’s evolution, offering clear insights into how technology and artistry continue to shape the world of film.

This seller was incredible. I purchased an inexpensive (used) book and was almost immediately notified that it shipped on the same day I ordered it. I received it within 2 days. It was exactly as described - it looked like it had never even been read! Great service & a great product. Thanks!
