A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

A Companion to Eastern European Cinemas is the first comprehensive exploration of Eastern European film cultures. Featuring contributions from both established and emerging film scholars, essays trace the development of Eastern European cinemas utilizing a variety of approaches from political, economic, and cultural contexts to aesthetics and themes pertinent to the cinemas of the post–Soviet region. Topics explored include well–established areas of film study such as dissident national art cinemas and auteurs, as well as issues that have received scant attention popular cinemas, transnational production, distribution and exhibition, and the effects of Europeanization and global media convergence on film cultures.  More than 20 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, A Companion to Eastern European Cinemas offers a timely reassessment of the cinematic traditions of Eastern Europe while paving the way for future areas of study.
