The Story of Film
This is an excellent documentary on the evolution of film and its future. Below you will find not only the episode guide, but articles on each of the chapter's contents. This information will help you with creating your timelines as well as provide connections between the films you are analyzing and their influences (or vice versa). Please feel free to use these as a resource. Also, you can look at the contents to create a "Films to Screen" list on your Letterboxd.com account.
