A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

What is the importance of film festivals in the context of film culture at large? What logic reigns within the film festival galaxy? Are film festivals tools of power and prestige that make or break the fate of a film? Or do they effectively seal diverse and unique cinema from the wider public whilst simultaneously professing to celebrate it? What, if anything, is wrong with the concept of 'festival films'? What makes a good film festival good or a bad one bad? It is these and other questions that are raised and treated in the classic texts included in this anthology.

Revue de presse

While most published commentary on film festivals consists of either glorified press releases or a series of capsule reviews, The Film Festival Reader offers rigorous, analytical assessments of the festival scene. At a time when festivals have become an increasingly vital component of film culture, this book will be of enormous use to both students and professionals. --Richard Porton, Editor Cineaste Magazine
