More About This Textbook
Overview
Shop girls and factory hands paying a nickel to watch silent Westerns in a variety bill at the Music Hall; the "sophisticated" clientele of New York's modernist art-house cinemas; the sold-out opening weekends at shopping-mall megaplexes; FilmAid screenings of Charlie Chaplin in refugee camps in Afghanistan... the ways in which American and global audiences have viewed movies are as rich and varied a part of cinematic history as anything shown on the silver screen.
In pioneering essays by many of the leading experts in this rapidly-developing field of cinema history, Going to the Movies moves beyond the familiar images of nickelodeons and movie palaces to analyse the place of movie theatres in local communities, the roles of race and religion in constructing and segregating audiences, the links between film and other entertainment media, the varied forms of non-theatrical exhibition and the historical development of the globalized audience.
