Not just another film guide-this is a visual road map to the best cinema has to offer. A comprehensive, fun to browse, and easy-to-use source for everything you need to know about movies and the people behind them. From Hollywood to Bollywood, this book's unique approach will explore every aspect of film and provide pointers on how to watch and understand films of different types, styles, and periods.

The history of film could not possibly be covered in one tome without some sacrifice of contextual insight that will cause the reader to dismiss the resource entirely. There have been past attempts to provide a more comprehensive overview, for example, Liz-Ann Bawden's The Oxford Companion to Film (which has not been updated since its original publication in 1976) and David Thomson's The New Biographical Dictionary of Film. Thomson does update his hefty and endlessly fascinating book periodically (the last time in 2004), but his meticulous approach is to provide an alphabetical listing of key contributors to cinema and summarize their work with his own critical eye.

Written and compiled by British film critic Ronald Bergan, the DK Eyewitness Companion book is much more cursory, but the organization is also more amenable to the casual browser looking for a few film factoids. That's because the 500-plus-page soft-cover book mimics the same pleasing graphics, easy-to-follow organization, and abbreviated observations of the extensive Eyewitness guidebook line. This one is divided into six discrete sections - The Story of Cinema, How Movies Are Made, Genres, World Cinema, A-Z of Directors, and Top 100 Movies. Each provides interesting tidbits of a thumbnail variety, especially the first chapter which dares to cover the history of movies in such an expeditious fashion. The second section gives a solid look at the entire process of filmmaking from development to release.

The section on film genres is somewhat more inconsequential, but Bergan's overview of world cinema and its leading directors provides some true nuggets. It's also interesting to see he doesn't offer much praise to actor-directors other than Clint Eastwood and Woody Allen (whom he mistakenly credits for directing Play It Again, Sam - it was Herbert Ross). It seems inevitable that a Top 100 list should be presented, and Bergan's list is as subjective as any other film scholar's. He further conditions his list by including only one film per noted director (so, for example, Hitchcock gets identified for Vertigo and nothing else in his illustrious filmography). The likely candidates are here, but so are some idiosyncratic choices like Wim Wenders' Paris, Texas and Mike Newell's Four Weddings and a Funeral. As with any Eyewitness book, there are lots of nicely presented photographs and sidebars to break up the text. This is good browsing material for the more casual film lover.

Praise for the second edition: "Having worked with both Nicole and Eden, I can say that no one knows more about indie filmaking. And they share their deep knowledge in this incredible tome." - Doug Liman, Director, Swingers, Go, Bourne Identity "This manual is an powerful tool for anyone wanting to produce or direct a film. Going beyond theory, Eden has put together practical information that can be put to use immediately, from breaking down the script to financing to distribution. Eden is a hands on producer working at the top levels of independent film and an invaluable source for anyone wanting to take the leap and make a film." - Meg LeFauve Praise for the first edition: "If only there'd been a book like this when I was starting out. Heck, I'm glad it exists even at this point in my career, so page-packed with useful info is this indispensable tome. Trust me, first-timers, read it from cover to cover and avoid the pitfalls and hang-ups most of us had to learn firsthand. You hold in your hands the perfect marriage between practical and technical advice, and breezy, entertaining anecdotes. What Nicole and Eden have wrought, let no filmmaker put asunder." -Kevin Smith, writer/director, Clerks, Chasing Amy, and Dogma "...A clear, insightful and commonsense guide for anyone involved in making a low-budget film that is also a labor of love. Unlike most how-to books which provide clinical step-by-step directions on how to do budgets and schedules, this book explores the nuances of the creative process by walking us through the living, breathing experience of line producing." - Denise Mann, Vice-chair, Producer's Program, UCLA
