Tony has authored more than seventy books on the history of popular entertainment and edited a further 150 volumes. Among his pioneering works are books on early American cinema, early women directors, the cinema and Ireland, a history of the Vitagraph Company of America, a history of the non-theatrical film, and many others. Aside from his work as a writer and historian, he has found time to direct a number of documentaries relating to silent film history, including the feature-length The Silent Feminists, work as a consultant on a variety of film and television projects, and record a number of DVD commentaries.
With A Journey Through Film History, film historian Anthony Slide offers a detailed account of his life and career over the last 80 years. In a humorous and entertaining style, he speaks of his memories, both good and bad. Interviewer Matthew Renoir is the great grandson of Jean Renoir (and the great, great grandson of impressionist painter Pierre Auguste Renoir), and a perfect fit as an interviewer for Anthony Slide, who knew Jean Renoir well in the late 1970s, and provides many memories of Jean’s response to the films that he and partner Robert Gitt were screening for him. Among the institutions with prominent parts in the book are the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the Motion Picture Country House, and London’s National Film Theatre.
Captivating tales of cinema history follow the path of one of its most esteemed historians.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase at $20.
Drinks and Light Refreshements will be served.
