The author of this book emphasizes that the development of documentaries, especially several major documentary movements, has a great influence on the development of feature films in various historical stages, and the relationship between different schools of times is in the same strain. The development of Hollywood movies is discussed from the development of the film industry. That's absolutely right. In addition, it is also very important to classify Eisenstein, pudovkin and other film activities of the earliest movie master Gate in the former Soviet Union as an important branch of the avant-garde film movement in the 1920s. For a long time, socialist film historians have always avoided this point dishonestly.

Film Introduction Yang, Houlanger Beijing United Publishing Company

This is a basic textbook about the function and dissemination of movies, which is divided into six parts: media characteristics, creative process, production mechanism, historical process, national characteristics and critical framework. It covers the technical, industrial and cultural issues involved in film, comprehensively combs the process and way of human understanding and making images, deliberately presents the three-body characteristics of film as an art, a language and an industry, and constructs its light, shadow, audio-visual and production as systematically as possible.

A Reader of Film Theory, Yang, Houlanggun Beijing United Publishing Company.

This book is a "new reader" of film theory to adapt to the new trends of film theory, film technology and aesthetics and the new development of film industry. On the premise of expanding the thought of literary selection, it breaks the barrier of "pure theory" and adds "practical" texts to establish a "new reader" composed of media, language, record, documentary, author, genre, star, narrative, economy, history and gender. Through the theoretical levels of industry and art, technology and culture, identity and expression, image and society, various research viewpoints and multiple paths of film discourse are presented, aiming at providing a broader discourse platform and a broader sense of problems for film research.

"New readers" include not only the classic works of film theorists such as Balazs Bela, Eisenstein, Bazin, Einheim, Grierson, Mays and Deleuze, but also the important articles of a new generation of scholars such as Tom Gunning, Bill Nichols, David Bordwell, miriam Hansen and Zizek. Facing the new image production and working objects, I hope to provide researchers with more diversified ways of thinking and theoretical weapons.

What is a Film (French), edited by andre bazan, translated by Cui, Commercial Press, 20 17.

This book is a collection of high-quality film reviews published by Bazin, the father of French new wave films, covering many topics such as film ontology, film sociology, film psychology and film aesthetics. It is a must-read for studying Bazin and contemporary film aesthetics. In the history of film theory, Bazin's film theory is an outstanding milestone. His realistic aesthetics deeply influenced the development of world movies. The ontology and real aesthetics of photographic images he preached also formed a film aesthetic system different from montage theory, which opened up the field of film research. It is because of Bazin's efforts that film has become a serious research topic. As a classic representative of Bazin's film theory, what is a film? Since its inception, it has been well received by film practitioners and fans, and is known as the "Bible of Film", which has won Bazin the lofty honor of "Aristotle of Film".

Film Aesthetics (Hungary) edited by Bela Balazs, translated by Li He, China Film Publishing House, 2003.
