More Than a Movie

"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.
