{"product_id":"the-british-documentary-film-movement-paul-swann-9780521334792","title":"The British Documentary Film Movement, 1926 1946","description":"The most important and internationally influential development in British cinema was the documentary film movement led by John Grierson in the 1930s and 1940s. This is a political and social history of that movement, which was characterized by actuality-based films made outside the commercial industry. Based on examinations of official government records, the study provides a fascinating picture of the relationship forged between Grierson and the civil service bureaucracy for his own needs and the needs of his country. The book offers a fresh look at a rare moment in the history of cinema when a different mode of production, philosophy, and source of funding permitted a determined group to create a distinguished body of work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Swann,Swann Paul\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521334799\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521334792\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.21w x 0.86d","brand":"Paul Swann","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47419062616319,"sku":"9780521334792","price":146.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8597bd40-9905-4227-a04c-90b0438a4417.jpg?v=1761509213","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-british-documentary-film-movement-paul-swann-9780521334792","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
