About this ebook:
Kino nieme to pierwszy tom przygotowywanej w Instytucie Sztuk Audiowizualnych Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego czterotomowej Historii kina pod redakcją Tadeusza Lubelskiego, Iwony Sowińskiej i Rafała Syski. W zamierzeniu redaktorów ma to być książka wykorzystująca nowe źródła, uwzględniająca przyjęte dziś kryteria ocen i aktualne opracowania naukowe, która w formie kompetentnej narracji będzie uczyć rozumienia dziejów kina, a zarazem stanowić bazę lekturową dla dalszych studiów. Autorami poszczególnych rozdziałów są czołowi polscy specjaliści (także spoza Krakowa), zajmujący się na co dzień opisywanymi przez siebie okresami, gatunkami i szkołami narodowymi. W ciągu najbliższego pięciolecia ukażą się trzy kolejne tomy, poświęcone kinu klasycznemu, kinu epoki nowofalowej i kinu współczesnemu. Mamy nadzieję, że - zaspokoiwszy pilną potrzebę podręcznika, którego od dawna brakuje - książka stanie się też ciekawą lekturą dla szerszego grona miłośników filmu. SPIS TREŚCIWstępI.
