From its humble beginnings as a novelty in a handful of cities, cinema has risen to become a billion-dollar industry and the most spectacular and original contemporary art form. It has spread to all parts of the globe, and is enjoyed by audiences that cut across all sections of society. In "The Oxford History of World Cinema", a worldwide team of experts traces the history of this enduringly popular entertainment medium. Covering all aspects of its development, stars, studios and cultural impact, the book celebrates and chronicles over 100 years of diverse achievement from westerns to the New Wave, from animation to the Avant-Garde, and from Hollywood to Hong Kong. An international team of film historians tells the story of the major inventions and developments in the cinema business, its institutions, genres, and personnel; other chapters outline the evolution of national cinemas round the world - the varied and distinctive filmic traditions that have developed alongside Hollywood. It also includes special inset features on film-makers and personalities who have had an enduring impact in popular memory and cinematic lore.
