The latest volume in the AFI Film Readers series presents a
long-overdue reassessment of East European cinemas from
theoretical, psychoanalytic and gender perspectives. Charting the
dramatic changes and the deep continuities that have characterized
the cinemas of Eastern Europe in recent decades, the essays in East
European Cinema question and revaluate such notions as the
'European', 'postcommunism' and 'national cinema. The essays are
arranged in three groups that target the key issues: an alternative
to reductive understandings of East and Central European politics
as they inform cinema; the transition from state-funded modernism
to global, international cinema; and the key role of historiography
in relation to East and Central European film. Moving the subject
beyond the traditional area-studies approach to the region's films,
this ambitious collection, situating Eastern Europe's many cinemas
within global paradigms of film study, will be an essential work
for all students of cinema and for anyone interested in the
relation of film to culture and society.
