5.0 out of 5 stars Anexcellent core reference, June 12, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Oxford Guide to Film Studies (Paperback)
Read this in conjunction with Intro to Film Studies ( ed Nelmes - Routledge) and Intro to Documentary Film ( ed Kochberg - Wallflower) and your reading list has a firm foundtion for your success. A common factor to both is uber film Prof Searle Kochberg: catch his infectious lectures if you can on tour.
