UCOPress Editorial Universidad de Córdoba has just published Del clasicismo a la modernidad. Historia de los movimientos cinematográficos (1915-1975) by Pedro Poyato Sánchez, Senior Professor at the University of Córdoba. Drawing on Bordwell’s concept of the cinematic movement, this work offers a coherent explanation of how to approach the history of cinema, moving beyond a mere jumble of names and dates. The aim is to construct a history centered on the classicism/modernity dialectic in order to provide an overview of cinema that transcends the rigid compartments adopted by most university textbooks in recent decades. The book is intended to foster interest and critical thinking, without limiting itself to merely judging films of the past.
