For undergraduate courses in Introduction to Film and Film History in departments of English and Communication.
Flashback is a succinct history of film from the 1890s to the present. The main emphasis is on the art of film, but secondarily on the motion picture business, the ever changing technology, and the impact of these movies on their audiences. The book was written for instructors who want a basic film history that is reader friendly, well illustrated with photos from key movies, and clearly organized by decade, allowing instructors maximum flexibility in terms of reading assignments.
