The Story of Film

Money doesn't drive cinema. The moneymen don't know the secrets of the human heart or the brilliance of the medium of film. But if money doesn't drive movies, what does? Here's the answer: ideas. - Mark Cousins, The Story of Film: An Odyssey

This morning I got a frantic email from John pleading for me to download The Story of Film and then share it with him. I've currently got 9 of the 15 episodes downloaded, though I fear that episode 11 will be difficult to procure. If anyone else is interested, I'm happy to put them all on a flash drive and pass it around. I don't want to make any bold statements yet - I'm only halfway through the first episode - but I think that this series is going to be outstanding. My hope is that it does something similar to what The Story of Philosophy did for me many years ago. 

Thanks for sharing, John. I'm so excited I get to watch it before you!
