	John Libbey Publishing-Film History
		The subject of Film History is the historical development of the motion picture, and the social, technological and economic context in which this has occurred.
		In addition to original research in these areas, Film History surveys the paper and film holdings of archives and libraries world-wide, publishes selected examples of primary documentation (such as early film scenarios) and reports on current publications, exhibitions, conferences and research in progress.
		Each issue of Film History is devoted to a specific theme: those of volume 9 (1997) focussed on Silent Cinema, Non-Fiction Film, Screenwriters and Screenwriting, and International Cinema of the 1910s.
