The Companion features sixty specially commissioned chapters from international scholars which are organized into four clear parts: • Issues and concepts • Authors and trends • Genres and other types • Film as philosophy Part I is a comprehensive section examining key concepts, including chapters on acting, censorship, empathy, depiction, ethics, genre, interpretation, narrative, spectatorship, and style. The second part covers authors and scholars of film and significant theories. Part III examines genres such as documentary, experimental cinema, horror, comedy and tragedy. The final part includes chapters on key directors such as Tarkovsky, Bergman and Terrence Malick, and on particular films including Gattaca and Memento.
