Description

Book Synopsis
Film Studies is a concise and indispensable introduction to the formal study of cinema. The second edition to this best-selling textbook adds two new chapters: “Film and Ideology” and “Film Studies in the Age of Digital Cinema.”

Trade Review
Sikov is remarkably clear in his explanation of the technical elements of film as well as conceptual matters. Film Studies makes conceptually challenging material part of the introductory experience. -- Katherine Fusco, author of Silent Film and U.S. Naturalist Literature: Time, Narrative, and Modernity
