Examining the complex dynamics of convergence and divergence among the audio-visual media, the authors are realistic in their estimate of the future of the cinema's aesthetic identity, and robustly optimistic that the different social needs audiences bring to the public and domestic media will ensure their distinctiveness, as well as the necessary openness of cultural meaning and creative input" -- BlurbNotes: Includes bibliographical references, notes and indexISBN: 9053563121Donation: Adrien MilesContents: 1.
