A foundational anthology on how film sound works
Edited by Elisabeth Weis and John Belton, this anthology gathers essays by film historians, aestheticians, and theorists to examine the stylistic uses of sound in cinema. Its emphasis is analytical: the collection offers models for studying sound through close consideration of significant sound films, framing film audio as a central element of cinematic form rather than a secondary accompaniment to images. With contributions including work by S. M. Eisenstein, V. I. Pudovkin, Mary Ann Doane, Rick Altman, Barry Salt, and Douglas Gomery, the volume brings together historical and theoretical approaches to film sound.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
