Following the same formula as Phaidon's miniature Art Book and Photography Book, the mini version of The Movie Book brings together 500 people from around the world who have made a landmark contribution to the medium of film. From the earliest pioneers to the stars of today, the entries cover the entire industry, including actors and directors, costume designers and make-up artists, special effects wizards and animators, producers and major movie moguls. Arranged alphabetically, they create engaging and thought-provoking juxtapositions: Marcello Mastroianni sits next to Louis B. Mayer while Sidney Poitier rubs shoulders with Roman Polanski. Each entry is illustrated by a film still, photograph or cinematic sequence that shows a key aspect of that person's work. An accompanying text reveals the significance of each name within the history of film and includes essential biographical information. In addition, there is a comprehensive cross-referencing system and glossary to guide the reader through the complexities of the motion-picture industry, together with an international guide to film festivals and museums.
