The medium of film has reflected and shaped our culture since the turn of the 20th century. This 2002 edition of "Cinema Year by Year" takes the reader on a voyage through the world of movies, from their birth in the 1890s across a timespan of over 100 years. The text details key movie events, facts and figures, while the easy-to-use, ready-reference pages pinpoint the movie highlights of each year. There is an in-depth look at the complex, demanding, but ultimately fascinating work of the movie-makers and the stars, with special features examining different aspects of film history, including the silent era, special effects, and the rise of the independent film.
