Rezension zu „The Cinema of Small Nations “
A fabulous read - finding out about these cinemas was almost like reading detective fiction - unveiling, as the book does, the enigmatic nature of small nations' cinemas and giving the reader insights and knowledges heretofore squirreled away. -- Professor Susan Hayward, University of Exeter It's astonishing that we have had to wait until now to get our hands on this timely, informative, and lively volume. The Cinema of Small Nations offers us a rich overview of what this very important but underappreciated phenomenon might mean. How do films get produced and, under the sign of various national cultures, attached to states that are on the small side, geographically, demographically, and politically? How do these works then circulate on local turf and across the globe? These questions are addressed via rich and theoretically informed case studies from leading scholars in each area. After reading this book, it is impossible to speak of world cinema, national cultures, or globalization in easy platitudes. -- Professor Faye Ginsburg, New York University A fabulous read - finding out about these cinemas was almost like reading detective fiction - unveiling, as the book does, the enigmatic nature of small nations' cinemas and giving the reader insights and knowledges heretofore squirreled away.
