Chambers Film Factfinder is a collection of useful and often fascinating information on many aspects of film, from the early days of silent cinema to the twenty-first century. With wide-ranging coverage and an international scope, it has something to interest everyone from casual film fans to dedicated enthusiasts.
Information is presented in five major sections: People in Film; Film Categories and Genres; Film-Producing Countries; 100 Notable Films; and Film Reference. Carefully researched factual information is combined with a measure of critical analysis, ensuring that each section can entertain as well as inform. Biographies of actors and directors offer suggested career 'highs' and 'lows'; genre and country sections give brief factual histories, alongside lists of key people and films; and the selection of notable films is designed to provoke interest and discussion, rather than representing a 'best-of' list. The reference section includes essential facts, figures and definitions, as well as varied and highly readable lists on such subjects as censored films, memorable dance numbers and notorious commercial flops. Throughout the book, 'fact boxes' provide intriguing snippets of film trivia, bringing added appeal to the text. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

It contains five sections - 1. People in film (actors,directors,producers) 2. Film Categories and Genres. 3. Film-Producing Countries. 4. 100 Notable Films (Notable not best ) In other words you have such films as 'Eraserhead' and 'Night of the Living Dead' mixed in with 'Citizen Kane' and 'The Seventh Seal'. and 5. Film Reference (including various Awards) and a film Glossary
To sum up,this is very much a book to dip into,enjoy,but not necessarily agree with.
By the way do not confuse this with 'Chambers Film Facts' by Allan Hunter,which is purely a volume of film lists. ( )
