| Summary |
"In Cinema and Nation leading film scholars, philosophers and sociologists consider the ways in which film production and reception are shaped by ideas of national identity and belonging. The contributors discuss a wide range of cinemas, in Europe, Asia and the Americas, exploring the relationship between film policy and film cultures, and examining the implications of globalisation and the reconfiguration of nation states for both the concept and the reality of national cinema."--BOOK JACKET |
