Twelve hours, six continents and a thousand films – this documentary series will be the first ever to tell the whole history of cinema: the thrill of silents; the emergence of Hollywood and the star system; and the artistic evolution of film.
This engrossing, worldwide odyssey features the greatest movies ever made; an epic tale that starts in nickelodeons and ends as a multi-billion dollar globalised digital industry.
It is not about economics or marketing but innovation, shooting at key locations where great films were made, meeting major eyewitnesses or landmark figures who have themselves pushed the medium forward.
