Description: Cinema has had a hugely influential role on global culture in the 20th century at multiple levels: social political and educational. The part of British cinema in this has been controversial - often derided as a whole but also vigorously celebrated especially in terms of specific films and film - makers. In this Very Short Introduction Charles Barr considers films and filmmakers and studios and sponsorship against the wider view of changing artistic socio - political and industrial climates over the decades of the 20th Century. Considering British cinema in the wake of one of the most familiar of cinematic reference points - Alfred Hitchcock - Barr traces how British cinema has developed its own unique path and has since been celebrated for its innovative approaches and distinctive artistic language.
