A volume of specially-commissioned essays dealing with the attempts
to create a pan-European film production movement in the 1920s and
1930s, and the reactions of the American film industry to these
plans to rival its hegemony. The book has an impressive array of
top scholars from both America and Europe, including Thomas
Elsaesser, Kristin Thompson and Ginette Vincendeau, as well as
essays by some younger scholars who have recently completed new
archival research. It also includes a number of primary documents
selected by the contributors to illuminate their arguments and
provide a stimulus to further research. This book is a volume in
the series Exeter Studies in Film History, and represents a major
contribution to cinema scholarship as well as reflecting a strong
interest in an area of study currently being developed in
university departments and at the British Film Institute. Winner
