Expanded Film Language Glossary Released

Home > News & Updates > Expanded Film Language Glossary Released

September 8, 2005. This fall, CCNMTL and the Butler Media Library have launched an upgraded Film Language Glossary for students involved in the production and study of motion pictures. Glossary definitions are enhanced by images, animations, and sample film clips, many of which feature expert commentary and annotations by Columbia film professors. Over 65 new entries were added by contributors Richard Peña, James Schamus, Larry Engel, and David McKenna. Courses using the Glossary in the fall 2005 semester include Intro to Film Studies, Senior Seminar in Film, and Screenwriting.
