In her new book, In Glorious Technicolor, Francine Stock, presenter of BBC Radio Four's The Film Programme, explores the nature of our relationship with film – from the first screenings of the Lumiere Brothers' short films to the perceptionaltering 3D Avatar including the birth of celebrity in the 1920s, film noir in the forties, sci-fi in the fifties, the social change of the sixties, seventies' paranoia and the high-concept blockbusters.
