He was a contributor to the modern discipline of film studies and film history. Life and careerMast was born in Los Angeles in 1940;[1] his family included his mother, Bessie, and Linda, his sister.[2] He attended the University of Chicago, where he received his bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in English.[3] He taught at New York University, Oberlin College, and the City University of New York, before joining the faculty of his alma mater in 1978.[2] He chaired the Department of English Language and Literature, and his donation of 300 film prints established the university's Film Study Center and Film Archive.[3][7] The university press published several of his books on the history and critical analysis of film.[3] His works were influential in the development of the academic study of film history, including the application of the Chicago School of literary criticism to film analysis,[3] and several of his books, including A Short History of the Movies and Film Theory and Criticism, have been widely incorporated into university film studies programs.[2][11] Death and legacyOn September 1, 1988, Mast, age 48, died at Bernard Mitchell Hospital from complications of AIDS. At a time when public figures in the arts often remained unwilling to be associated with the disease, Mast requested that his obituaries include his cause of death.[3] In a retrospective in Cinema Journal, Tag Gallagher compared him to French film critic Jean Mitry, and described him as America's "film-scholar laureate".[11] Selected works
