The Film Idea

The Film Mercury

The Use of the Film

Basil Wright was one of the founders of documentary film and has been responsible for many important productions both before and during the war. The title of his book reveals the angle of its approach, and, whilst he has much to say about the actual making of films, he bears in mind throughout that they are always made for some use or other. He covers concisely the nature of this great new mass medium, its enormous potentialities, the present position of Hollywood and the future of the British Film industry. The whole is accompanied by an extensive bibliography. [site internet de l'éditeur]
