book		The children's film : genre, nation and narrative / Noel Brown New York: Wallflower Press, 2017. Call No: 722-053.2 BRO Author: Brown, Noel Source: US Place: New York Publisher: Wallflower Press PubDate: 2017 PhysDes: 124 pages : illustrations ; 20 cm Series: Short cuts Subject: CHILDREN AND THE CINEMA; CHILDREN, FILMS FOR Summary: An introduction to the children's film examines its recurrent themes, narratives and stylistic principles. It explores how children's cinema has developed across its broad historical and geographic span, with reference to films from Europe, the United States, Russia, India and China. Analysing changes and continuities in how children's film has been conceived, it argues for a fundamental distinction between commercial productions intended primarily to entertain and non-commercial film made under pedagogical principles, produced for purposes of moral and behavioural instruction. In elaborating these different forms, this book outlines a history of children's cinema from the early days of commercial cinema to the present, explores the key critical issues, and provides case studies of major children's films, including The Wizard of Oz, Emil and the Detectives, The Red Balloon and Frozen -- TAKEN FROM BACK COVER ISBN: 9780231182690 Donation: donated by Senses of Cinema Contents: The children's film -- Hollywood, children's cinema and the family audience -- Children's film, nation and identity -- Contemporary children's cinema: national and transnational trends -- Postscript More info
