We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Second Announcement . . . The film (sometimes) is nn art, and its makers (sometimes) are artists. 'IMPACT ON FILM', a series of books on the creative and technical aspects of film making, realizes this — and more importantly that the film is created within a vast commercial system of complex pattern. Ignore the art and you debase the whole medium: ignore the business side and you place yourself among the aesthetes who know "what*, but never 'how' and -vv h\". Our first book, appearing shortly, is entitled "This Film Business*, and tackles these questions with authority and vision. Roberto Rossellini, Dilys Powell," John Halas and Joy Batchelor, J. Clifford King, Elizabeth Franks, Marguerite Bruce and Clarissa Churchill examine some of the many facets of cinematic creation and technique.
