Alison
I would like to have a look at this, especially since its main rival (the
Routledge Cinema Dictionary) is so truly awful. I am about to move from Sussex
to Aberystwyth, where i will be teaching a second year film course with 168
students - I guess that is enough to meet your criteria ...!
In the meantime, if the book is sent before the end of December my address is:
Dr Martin Barker
Media Studies
University of Sussex
136 Essex House
Falmer
Brighton BN1 9RQ
thanks
Martin

> The Film Studies Dictionary
>
> No student of film can afford to be without The Film Studies Dictionary. It
> bridges the gap between dictionaries that are primarily academic and
> theoretical and those that deal mainly in technical jargon. Above all it is
> aimed at students of film and media who are likely to encounter a wide
> range of specialist language in a variety of places - in film reviews,
> critical writing, interviews with film-makers and stars, academic
> publications and the Internet. It makes this specialist language accessible
> and many entries use examples taken from a wide range of films both classic
> and contemporary to illustrate concepts in operation. Some of the entries
> offer concise definitions for instant reference, while more complex topics
> receive extended coverage supplemented by up-to-date further reading.
>
> Whether you are a filmgoer wanting to know the authoritative definition of
> 'best boy' and 'gaffer' or a student of film studying 'post-colonial
> theory' and 'third cinema' this dictionary will meet your needs.
