Cover of Rick Altman: Film/Genre (PDF)

Film/Genre revises our notions of film genre and connects the roles played by industry critics and audiences in making and re-making genre. Altman reveals the conflicting stakes for which the genre game has been played and recognises that the term ”genre” has different meanings for different groups, basing his new genre theory on the uneasy competitive yet complimentary relationship among genre users and discussing a huge range of films from
The Great Train Robbery to
Star Wars and from
The Jazz Singer to
The Player.
