Screening Cinema

About the Book Series

Supporting the use of film screenings as a core aspect of film studies pedagogy, Screening Cinema fills a gap in teaching film where screenings are a core activity. Each volume of the series includes fifty essential readings on individual films specifically designed to support film screenings and to demonstrate that alternative approaches and films can exist alongside, and at no cost to, the canonical. Written by leading scholars in film studies and emerging talents specializing in film studies and cognate disciplines, Screening Cinema is the first series of its kind.
