The is intended as a standard reference work in the field of

film studies. Designed to meet the needs of general readers, university students, high school

students and teachers, it offers a comprehensive and accessible overview of film history and

theory with an American emphasis.

SCOPE OF THE WORK

Readers will find in the the major facts about film history,

clear explanations of the main theoretical concepts and lines of scholarly interpretation, and

guidance through important debates. Approaching cinema as art, entertainment, and

industry, the Encyclopedia features entries on all important genres, studios, and national

cinemas, as well as entries on relevant technological and industrial topics, cultural issues,

and critical approaches to film.

To be sure, there are numerous other reference works and film encyclopedias available,

on the shelves of both retail bookstores and library reference sections. However, the

is distinctive in format and coverage. The Encyclopedia’s

200 entries are substantial in length-from approximately 1,500 to 9,000 words. Even as

these essays distill influential scholarship in different areas of film studies, they also offer

fresh arguments and perspectives.

Accompanying the main entries are more than 230 sidebars profiling important figures

in film history. More than career summaries, each profile places the subject’s achievements

within the context of the particular entry it accompanies, offering a historical or theoretical

perspective on the person profiled.

GUIDE TO THE WORK

Within the main entries, the first mention of a film title is the film’s original language title

followed parenthetically by the American release title, the name of the director (if it is not

mentioned in the text), and the year of the film’s release. A title that has no English release title is

translated parenthetically but not italicized. In subsequent mentions of non-English language

titles within the same entry, the most well-known title is used.Also upon first mention, the names

of historically important figures are followed parenthetically by the dates of birth and death.

Each of the entries is followed by a Further Reading section. These bibliographies

include both any works referenced in the body of the entry and other major works on the

subject in English. In a few instances books or articles published in languages other than

English are mentioned where appropriate. For the most part, references to Internet sources

are not included, because of their more fleeting nature, except where appropriate.

The sidebars-highlighting important individual accomplishments-are color-coded

to indicate broadly the type of achievement discussed. Sidebars for actors and performers

are shaded in green, directors in blue, and those involved in other aspects of film

production in yellow. People whose influence has been more culturally pervasive and

not restricted primarily to cinema, are shaded in tan.

Each of the sidebars is followed by headings for Recommended Viewing and Further

Reading. The viewing sections are not complete film o graphies but suggest the best, most

representative, or most useful works concerning the person profiled. Similarly, the reading

lists are not meant as definitive lists but are intended to steer the reader by citing the

principal sources of information regarding the subject.

The Encyclopedia also features an Index and a Glossary. The comprehensive index,

including all topics, concepts, names, and terms discussed in the work, will enable readers

to locate information throughout the Encyclopedia in a more thorough manner than cross references

provided at the end of entries. Readers should use the Glossary to track subjects

not treated in separate articles but discussed within the context of multiple articles. The

Glossary provides concise definitions of terms used in the entries as well as other basic film

studies terms that informed readers should know.
