Ditto on the poetic, so another recommendation for a slim yet sublime, non-historical manifesto/how-to would be Brakhage's A Moving Picture Giving and Taking Book. Finding one many years ago in a used book store (mis-shelved in the poetry section!) had a big impact.

I, for one, am always a sucker for the poetic, over the historical, and thus strongly endorse these slender yet sublime manifestos:
Devotional Cinema by Nathaniel Dorsky
Making Light of It by James Broughton
and two eminently readable books which blend the poetic with the theoretical:
Sculpting in Time: Reflections on Cinema by Andrey Tarkovsky
The Tactile Eye: Touch and the Cinematic Experience by Jennifer M. Barker (my personal favorite)
