The author traces the evolution of the moving image from the earliest shadow shows to the digital film-making of the 21st century. This second edition has a new chapter mapping developments in form and technology from the mid 1990s to the 2010s, examining experiments in three-dimensionality, the revival of animation and the democratisation of film-making following the digital revolution.
