British Cinema: A Very Short Introduction PDF
by Charles Barr
Part of the Very Short Introductions series
Description
Cinema has had a hugely influential role on global culture in the 20th century at multiple levels: social, political, and educational.
The part of British cinema in this has been controversial - often derided as a whole, but also vigorously celebrated, especially in terms of specific films and film-makers. In this Very Short Introduction, Charles Barr considers films and filmmakers, and studios and sponsorship, against the wider view of changing artistic, socio-political, and industrial climates over the decades of the 20th Century.
Considering British cinema in the wake of one of the most familiar of cinematic reference points - Alfred Hitchcock - Barr traces how British cinema has developed its own unique path, and has since been celebrated for its innovative approaches and distinctiveartistic language.
