Books are shelved on the second and third floors of the library, and are organized by Library of Congress call numbers. These call numbers are associated with certain subjects, so related books will be shelved closer together. Once you find a book that matches your research needs, try browsing in that same section to find more relevant books.
Here are some useful call number ranges and their associated subjects:
PN1993-1999 Motion pictures
PN1993.5 History of film by country
PN1995.75 Silent film
PN1997.2 Motion picture plays (screenplays)
PN2061-2071 Art of acting
TR1-1050 Photography
TR845-849 Cinematography
