More than a Movie

the long version

"If you laughed when you first read this title, you are probably ready to read this book. Starting with the pivotal question. Does media influence society? Miguel Valenti and a host of film-industry contributors present real ethical issues confronted daily when producing works of film. More Than a Movie engages social responsibility in filmmakers, encouraging them to become aware of the possible consequences of the images and attitudes they choose. More Than a Movie is written as a tool for discussion and debate in professional as well as academic arenas. Historical as well as contemporary, the chapters give readers a framework to see and understand the issues at stake."--BOOK JACKET.
