With A Journey Through Film History, film historian Anthony Slide offers a detailed account of his life and career over the last 80 years. In a humorous and entertaining style, he speaks of his memories, both good and bad. Interviewer Matthew Renoir is the great grandson of Jean Renoir (and the great, great grandson of impressionist painter Pierre Auguste Renoir), and a perfect fit as an interviewer for Anthony Slide, who knew Jean Renoir well in the late 1970s, and provides many memories of Jean’s response to the films that he and partner Robert Gitt were screening for him. Among the institutions with prominent parts in the book are the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the Motion Picture Country House, and London’s National Film Theatre.

Captivating tales of cinema history follow the path of one of its most esteemed historians.
