First study of cinema, media and the Balkan wars; Wide-ranging view
of politics and culture of the region; The break-up of Yugoslavia
triggered a truly international film-making project. Underground,
Ulysses' Gaze, Before the Rain, Pretty Village, Pretty Flame and
Welcome to Sarajevo were amongst a host of films created as the
conflicts in the region unravelled. These conflicts restored the
Balkans as a centrepiece of Western imagery and the media
(especially cinema) assumed a leading but ambiguous role in
defining it for global consumption through a narrow range of
selectively defined images. Simultaneously, a lot of the
high-quality cinematic and television work made in the region (much
of it discussed in this book) remains relatively unknown. Cinema of
Flames attempts to go deeper than the imagery and address some of
the general concerns of the cross-cultural representation and
self-representation of the Balkans: narrative strategies within the
context of Balkan exclusion from the European cultural sphere, the
cosmopolitan image of Sarejevo, diaspora, and the representations
of villains, victims, women, and ethnic minorities, all considered
in the general context of Balkan cinema. 'encyclopaedic in scope
and brilliance, making excellent use of the scholarly literature
whilst interweaving analysis of films and other mass media. The
book will be a superb addition to the literatures on Bosnia and
Yugoslavia. It will also serve as a standard reference on Balkans
film.' Robert Hayden (University of Pittsburgh)
