Art on Screen: A Directory of Films and Videos about the Visual Arts.

This is more than a listing of films about art. Art on Screen is a detailed reference guide to over 900 films and videos that includes synopses of content and critical data, including running time, for each film and video listed. The guide is introduced by five essays that furnish the reader with information about the history of the two mediums, potential uses, and guidelines for evaluating films on art. The guide lists documentaries and shorts as well as feature films. It will be an invaluable reference for art teachers and curriculum planners.
