Are you a film buff? Want to learn more about your favorite actors, specific cinematographers, or various motion picture studios? Then the 7th edition of The Film Encyclopedia is a great resource for you!

- directors, producers, actors, screenwriters and cinematographers;
- styles, genres and schools of filmmaking;
- motion picture studios and film centers;
- film-related organizations and events;
