André Bazin 
Andre Bazin’s New Media [EPUB ebook] 

Soporte

André Bazin’s writings on cinema are among the most influential reflections on the medium ever written. Even so, his critical interests ranged widely and encompassed the ‘new media’ of the 1950s, including television, 3D film, Cinerama, and Cinema Scope. Fifty-seven of his reviews and essays addressing these new technologies—their artistic potential, social influence, and relationship to existing art forms—have been translated here for the first time in English with notes and an introduction by leading Bazin authority Dudley Andrew. These essays show Bazin’s astute approach to a range of visual media and the relevance of his critical thought to our own era of new media. An exciting companion to the essential
What Is Cinema? volumes,
André Bazin’s New Media is excellent for classroom use and vital for anyone interested in the history of media.
