Before Video : A History of the Non-Theatrical Film (Contributions to the Study of Mass Media and Communications)

Editorial Reviews Review “A book for scholars rather than general readers. It is an important summary work, for it covers, admittedly in a sketchy manner, the origins, development, and decline of the nontheatrical film. Those interested in this fascinating film area will find Slide's modest attempt a significant document. His nine chapters are straightforward and full of interesting information. Chapter 3, "The Eastman Kodak Connection," is quite revealing of corporate generosity and greed in about equal parts.”–Choice
“you'll learn just how much they are still a part of our culture, particularly as stock footage in new documentaries.”–Matinee at the Bookshelf Book Description "Non-theatrical film" is the term used to describe motion pictures which are not shown in movie theatres, but are produced and/or distributed to markets that include the educational community, home, and business and industry. Slide covers the early Hollywood-produced features and short subjects in a format other than 35mm for homes, hospitals and correctional institutions, as well as industrial films. This is also the history of two major non-theatrical libraries, Bell and Howell and Kodascope, both of which were founded to service the needs of purchasers of the then newly introduced 16mm projectors.
