* A major anthology geared towards course use, which covers key concepts in film studies through analysis of important films from American, Asian, European and African cinema
* Combines formal, historical, cultural, and theoretical approaches to study
* Analyzes how film represents and influences individual and societal constructs of identity
* Uses selected readings to introduce inter-textual relations between the readings and the films they discuss
* Contains section introductions that map the themes and histories of each topic, and raise theoretical issues specific to each
