1) Contribution of Writing to Film Appreciation:

The history of film or moving picture begins with mid-19th century by an American and it remains one of the most current, diversified and continues communicative media in the latest 21st century of Post-Modernism. Representative works of film history can be found in the modern and post-modern era and their influences can be found on the history of human living. Apart from conducting surveys and assessments on the principal aspects of film history after French’s modernism, German's surrealism and American Hollywood commercialism, cross-cultural influences in contemporary independent films in Asia should be cared. The value and types of film can be evaluated and distinguished between contradictory concepts such as filmic art vs functionalism, nationalism vs individual experimentation, regional interest vs personal need. Much like the history of art, the history of film encompasses numerous styles, movements and the international political and social developments have also challenged its course of evolution and related concepts of moving and cyber space where we are working, living and engaging.
