The Appreciation of Film: The Postwar Film Society Movement and Film Culture in Britain de Richard Lowell MacDonald

The Appreciation of Film: The Postwar Film Society Movement and Film Culture in Britain: Exeter Studies in Film History

Autor Richard Lowell MacDonald
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 iul 2016
This book offers the first full account of the volunteer-led film society movement in Britain and its contribution to postwar film culture. It brings to life a lost history of alternative film exhibition and challenges the general assumption that the study of film began with university courses in film studies. Showing how film societies operated and the lasting impression they made on film, Richard MacDonald also details the history of film education in Britain, along the way addressing tensions that existed within the voluntary societies between avant-garde ideals and the desire to increase membership and participation.

Recenzii

"An interesting project, based on thorough research, dealing with a topic that deserves to be better known and better documented."

"This book serves as a valuable companion to an emerging literature on the history of film studies, both internationally and specifically within Britain."

MacDonald and his thoughtful monograph, with patience and sincerity, invite us to acknowledge the appreciation of film among the ordinaries, and their important effort in shaping the film culture we enjoy today.”

“This book offers an engaging and accessible history of British film society culture. It makes a substantial and very valuable contribution to our understanding of the film society movement and the development of a British intellectual film culture. It will become an important point of reference.”

Finalist for the Richard Wall Memorial Award for an exemplary work in the field of recorded performance
