A History of Greek Cinema is a long-anticipated book in the area of Greek film studies, which fills a significant void...an ambitious publication, which would be warmly welcomed by film scholars as an essential and indepensable reading on Greek film studies. It could also serve as a valuable textbook for film students, as it comprises a fundamental and promising work, which would further enrich international literature on the field of Greek film studies. - Angeliki Milonaki
