About Engaging Cinema: An Introduction to Film Studies

Engaging Cinema emphasizes the interactions between society and cinema and introduces students to film studies as it is actually done by scholars and critics. In what ways do films influence and interact with society? What social forces determine the kinds of movies that get made? How do movies reinforce—and sometimes overturn—social norms? As societies evolve, do the films that were once considered ‘great’ slip into obscurity? Which ones? Why? These questions, and many others like them, represent the mainstream of scholarly film studies today. In Engaging Cinema, Bill Nichols offers the first book for introductory film students that tackles these topics head-on. Engaging Cinema offers a brisk and helpful one-chapter overview of the basic principles of film form (and a thorough glossary that includes formal terms and concepts), three chapters on the three major categories of film form (avant-garde, documentary, and narrative fiction film, in that order), and seven chapters on various social aspects of cinema—such as stereotyping, ethnicity, masculinity, feminism, and ideology. No other book devotes this amount of space or attention to the subject. Published in a handy 'trade paperback' format, Engaging Cinema is inexpensive and utterly unique in the field—a perfect complement to or replacement for standard film texts.
