Examines the political cinema of 1968 in relation to global events.
1968 and Global Cinema addresses a notable gap in film studies.
Although scholarship exists on the late 1950s and 1960s New Wave
films research that puts cinemas on 1968 into dialogue with one
another across national boundaries is surprisingly lacking. Only in
recent years have histories of 1968 begun to consider the interplay
among social movements globally. The essays in this volume, edited
by Christina Gerhardt and Sara Saljoughi, cover a breadth of
cinematic movements that were part of the era's radical politics
and independence movements. Focusing on history, aesthetics, and
politics, each contribution illuminates conventional understandings
of the relationship of cinema to the events of 1968, or ""the long
Sixties."" The volume is organized chronologically, highlighting
the shifts and developments in ideology in different geographic
contexts. The first section examines both the visuals of new
cinemas as wellas new readings of the period's politics in various
geopolitical iterations. This half of the book begins with an
argument that while the impact of Italian Neorealism and the French
New Wave on subsequent global new waves is undeniable, the
influence of cinemas of the so-called Global South is pivotal for
the eras cinema as well. The second section considers the lasting
impact of 1968 and related cinematic new waves into the 1970s. The
essays in this section range from China's Cultural Revolution in
cinema to militancy and industrial struggle in 1070s worker's films
in Spain. In these ways, the volume provides fresh takes and allows
for new discoveries of the cinemas of the long 1968. 1968 and
Global Cinema aims to achieve balance between new readings of
well-known films filmmakers and movements as well as new research
that engages lesser-known bodies of films and film tests. The
volume is ideal for graduate and undergraduate courses on the long
sixties, political cinema, 1968, and new waves in art history,
cultural studies and film and media studies. Contributors: Robert
