Film and Censorship: The "Index" Reader (Cassell Film Studies) - Tapa blanda

To celebrate 25 years of "Index on Censorship", international critics, academics and film-makers have contributed to this volume to explore why cinema has, throughout the whole of the 20th century, been perceived by authority to be such a dangerous and potentially corrupting medium. These essays seek to bring the many different ways in which film has been, and continues to be, censored: from the obvious banning of films, to hidden methods of suppression such as self-censorship and refusals of funding. Contributors include: James Ivory, Roman Polanski, Milos Forman, Philip French and Arthur C. Clarke.
