Review
"A remarkable synthesis, recommended to anyone who wants to understand the questions and debates that have animated film theory in the twentieth century. Throughout, Stam's discussion is lucid, generous, and intelligent." James Naremore, Indiana University
Product Description

Film Theory multiplies the perspectives and positions, the situations and locations, from which film theory is spoken.
