Trade Review
"Harbord's is a major new voice in film studies, harking back to the classical film theory of Bazin, Kracauer and Epstein, and echoing forward into the twenty-first century. The Evolution of Film makes a decisive contribution to the study of cinema, and to our understandings of the contemporary."

Sean Cubitt, University of Melbourne
