1.9 Episode 9 - American Cinema of the 70s.1.8 Episode 8 - New Directors, New Form.1.3 Episode 3 - The Golden Age of World Cinema.Ī two-hour-and-20-minute follow-up covering films from 2010 to 2021, titled The Story of Film: A New Generation, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in July 2021. Scott of The New York Times described Cousins' film as "a semester-long film studies survey course compressed into 15 brisk, sometimes contentious hours" that "stands as an invigorated compendium of conventional wisdom." Contrasting the project with its "important precursor (and also, perhaps, an implicit interlocutor)", Jean-Luc Godard’s Histoire(s) du cinéma, Scott commended Cousins' film as "the place from which all future revisionism must start". The program won a Peabody Award in 2013 "for its inclusive, uniquely annotated survey of world cinema history."

The Telegraph headlined the series' initial broadcast in September 2011 as the "cinematic event of the year", describing it as "visually ensnaring and intellectually lithe, it’s at once a love letter to cinema, an unmissable masterclass, and a radical rewriting of movie history." An Irish Times writer called the programme a "landmark" (albeit a "bizarrely underpromoted" one). It was broadcast in the United States on Turner Classic Movies beginning in September 2013. It was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City in February 2012. The Story of Film was also featured in its entirety at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival, and at 2012 Istanbul International Film Festival. The series was broadcast in September 2011 on More4, the digital television service of UK broadcaster Channel 4. It was directed and narrated by Mark Cousins, a film critic from Northern Ireland, based on his 2004 book The Story of Film. The Story of Film: An Odyssey is a 2011 British documentary film about the history of film, presented on television in 15 one-hour chapters with a total length of over 900 minutes.
