documentary Mark Cousins
Most would agree it's impossible to tell a comprehensive history of film in 12 or so hours. That said this was an entertaining and, certainly for some, informative quick survey of the technological development that has become the premiere art form of our time.
Cousins necessarily skims over the top of the major developments in film's history but gives good weight to work done in various parts of the world showing how even obscure films done in remote places under primitive conditions can influence world cinema. He highlights Dreyer, Ray, Ozu, Kiarostami and many others. This series could open the vast world of film to a curious neophyte...and good for him for that.
Good survey and well worth the time.
