A Gem for the classroom

I am an educator and have included this book when I do a film segment as part of my English class. It is fast paced with information that I have shared with my students who are fascinated by the elements and history of film.

If you are interested in children's films, you must read!

If you are an educator, at any level, or just have an interest in children's film in general, you must read this book. It is a very concise overview of the theory behind most of the important periods of critical theory. As the genre of theory changes, at times slowly, at times with a rapid pace, this book explains what you need to know. Excellent reading material for anyone with an interest in film.
