About The Book
Theory of Film by Noel Burch is a thought-provoking critique of classical approaches to film theory and its development. The book challenges the traditional view that the "language of film" was a natural, organic evolution of technology, and that it was waiting to be discovered by early filmmakers. Instead, Burch presents a compelling argument that the foundations of cinematic language were not inherent in the technology of the camera but were socially and culturally constructed.
This book dives deep into the philosophical and theoretical aspects of filmmaking, offering a fresh perspective on the origins of filmic conventions. It is an essential read for those interested in film theory, history, and criticism, providing a critical examination of the assumptions that have shaped our understanding of cinema.
Burch's work is influential for both scholars and filmmakers, providing a deeper understanding of the mechanics behind the art form and how it has evolved through a combination of technological, social, and artistic forces.
