CINEMA CINEMA

"THE CINEMA" wrote george bernard shaw in the 'new statesman in 1914','is going to form the mind of england.The national conscience, the national ideas and tests of conduct, will be those of films',shaw wrote at the birth of art and cinema.

Film remains perfectly attuned to our age:
we revere its starts, marvel at the ever-developing ingenuity of its creators and keep back more week after week.
the effect of cinema on audiences is an endlessly debated and worried and at some times censored.
new break throughs are heralded as great world-uniting events.
But how much do you really know about film - its history,technology and the people behind the silver screen?
