SYNOPSIS: This book is for film makers, of course, and for critics and teachers and students of the film. It is also for fans, whose enthusiasm for star or story may actually be related to deeper sources of satisfaction in the art of the film. The theories conflict. Those who love movies should not be upset by the fact that there seem to be deep contradictions in these 39 articles. What kind of aesthetic theory can reconcile realism and fantasy, entertainment and education, mysteries and musicals, slapstick and spectacle? There can no more be a final theory of film than there can be a definitive theory of what to put in a book. The storm over style and content in the film will rage forever, for theory should open up debate and controversy, leading in turn to new theory, or to experiment and action. Here is a sampling of the contents: Sergei Eisenstein: Collision of Ideas; Dudley Nichols: The Writer and the Film; Rudolf Arnheim: Epic and Dramatic Film; Ingmar Bergman: Film Has Nothing To Do With Literature; Bela Balazs: The Faces of Men; Mack Sennett: Cloud - Cuckoo Country; Arnold Hauser: Space and Time in the Film; John Grierson: First Principles of Documentary; Siegfried Kracauer: Theory of Film; Michael Roemer: The Surfaces of Reality; Carl Dreyer: Thoughts on My Craft; Stan VanDerBeek: Compound Entendre; Jonas Mekas: Notes on the New American Cinema; Pauline Kael: Are Movies Going to Pieces?; Frederico Fellini: The Road Beyond Neorealism. Richard Dyer MacCann was born in Wichita, Kansas, in 1920, and attended the University of Kansas, where he received his B.A. in Political Science in 1940. After an M.A. at Stanford University in 1942 and three-years' service in the U.S. and Europe during World War II, he completed a Ph.D. in Government at Harvard in 1951. His dissertation, Documentary Film and Democratic Government, led him to a growing concern about communication and public opinion in the democratic process and to a special interest in the motion picture. He accepted a position as a staff correspondent in Los Angeles for the Christian Science Monitor, specializing in film and television reporting from 1951 to 1957. As Assistant Professor of Cinema at the University of Southern California from 1957 to 1962, he continued a weekly Hollywood column for the Monitor for three years, while teaching courses in documentary film, film writing, and cinema and society. In 1963, Dr. MacCann was an adviser and teacher, on a U.S. State Department grant, for the Korean National Film Production Center in Seoul. The following year he was a producer in the program department of Subscription Television, Inc., in Santa Monica, California. From 1965-70 Dr. MacCann taught at the University of Kansas, where he was Professor of Speech and Journalism and Director of the Center for Film Studies. In 1970 he joined the faculty of the University of Iowa as professor in charge of the Ph.D. program in film in the Department of Speech and Dramatic Art. He is a member of the University Film Association, the Writers Guild of America, and Phi Beta Kappa. Dr. MacCann is editor of Cinema Journal, the semi-annual publication of the national Society for Cinema Studies. His articles have appeared in Yale Review, Film Quarterly, Films and Filming, and Encyclopedia Americana. He is also the author of Hollywood in Transition (1962) and Film and Society (1964).
