Film & Art
"After reading this book, you will never see films in the same way again.  Professor Hinrichs takes the film industry to task for its formulaic approach to filmmaking.  He challenges our visual aesthetics and teaches us to become more informed, critical viewers.  This book is a significant contribution and an important source for anyone interested in film as art."   --Robert Toensing, Professor of Art & internationally known artist"Excellent! Professor Hinrichs has succeeded in a most difficult task, sorting through and condensing a massive amount of information in a way that is exceptionally useful and engaging. Film & Art is a great introduction to how to think about film in a creative and critical way."  --Bruce Mamer, author of Film Production Technique: Creating the Accomplished Image"Informative, provocative, artful.  Topics are treated with admirable scope and engaging detail.  Hinrichs' fresh, vivid style, adroit incorporation of marvelous quotations, and clear presentation make this an excellent and inspiring introduction to the art of film." --Lynn Greenberg, Professor of Philosophy and Humanities Century CollegeProfessor Hinrichs has written an elegant, taut, and well-reasoned discussion of film as art.  Does modern film qualify as art or at least as good art?  Professor Hinrichs poses this question, then in a treatment that is balanced, fair, and impeccably argued, he presents both sides of this controversy in this insightful and provocative book. --Professor Gary R. Evans, Harvey Mudd College
