This book presents past, present and future perspectives on film and cinema. The first chapter reviews the first filming in the Balkans from the year 1896 to 1900. Chapter Two continues with a discussion of the Bulgarians chronicle documentaries filmed in the First World War on the Balkan Fronts from 1915 to 1918. Chapter Three discusses the problem of regional history of cinema concerning Lower Silesia before the year 1945, reviving the discourse on metropolis and province. Chapter Four discusses the unequal treatment of two propaganda film creators: Sergei Eisenstein and Leni Riefenstahl. Chapter Five reconsiders the ability of cinema to predict revolutions and other major events in different countries, taking as a case study the events of the 2011 Arab Spring, which led to the downfall of Egypt’s President Mubarak. Chapter Six describes how the features of cinema may be helpful in relationships, from a therapeutic point of view. Chapter Seven provides an alternative to the standard approach of using cinema in medical training based on a more integrative perspective. (Imprint: Nova)
