Zusatztext Screen Interiors is a milestone in the literature on production design for film and television. Exploring how moving-image interiors reveal the inner lives of protagonists, the book offers multiple perspectives on a wide range of genres, countries, and time periods and investigates social themes such as gender, class, and sexuality. The book contributes insightful perspectives on popular films and their makers, while shedding light on productions and people. Equally valuable is the book’s concise history of production design and its historiography.
