Film is considered by some to be the most dominant art form of the twentieth        century. It is many things, but it has become above all a means of telling stories        through images and sounds. The stories are often offered to us as quite false,        frankly and beautifully fantastic, and they are sometimes insistently said to be        true. But they are stories in both cases, and there are very few films, even in        avant-garde art, that don't imply or quietly slip into narrative. This story        elementis important, and is closely connected with the simplest fact about moving        pictures: they do move.Even the older meanings of the word 'film' - a membrane, a        covering, a veil, an emanation - now seem to have something to do with moving        pictures. Many people believe films are an instrument of illusion, an emphatic way        of seeing what is not there; and this capacity has been both celebrated and        condemned. 'Like a movie' mostly means like some sort of fairy-tale. But what about        the reverse proposition: that more than any other invention film brings us close to        the world as it actually is?'Photography is truth', a character says in a film by        Jean-Luc Godard. 'And cinema is the truth twenty-four times per second'. The same        claim is made every day, albeit less epigrammatically, by newsreels and surveillance        cameras.In this Very Short Introduction Michael Wood provides a brief history and        examination of the nature of the medium of film, considering its role and impact on        society as well as its future in the digital age.
