This volume introduces a novel treatment of Polish cinema by
discussing its international reception, performance,
co-productions, and subversive emigre auteurs, such as Andrzej
Zulawski and Walerian Borowczyk. The opening up of Poland
economically and politically to global influences after the fall of
the Berlin Wall in 1989, coupled with the rise of transnational
approaches to the study of film, presents ideal conditions for
examiningPolish cinema from a transnational vantage point. Yet not
only have studies of Polish cinema remained largely within a
national framework but Polish cinema, as well as many other Eastern
European cinemas, has been virtually excluded from new research in
transnational cinema. Polish Cinema in a Transnational Context
addresses this lacuna in film studies, offering extended analysis
of this national cinema's global influence. Contributors assess the
reception of Polish films in Europe and North America, Polish
international coproductions, the presence of Polish performers in
foreign films, and the works of subversive emigre auteurs like
Andrzej Zulawski and Walerian Borowczyk. The collection presents
familiar films and filmmakers in a new and revealing light, while
also focusing on lesser-known filmmakers and aspects of Polish
cinema. The resulting volume moves the discussion beyond the border
of Polish national belonging. Contributors: Peter Hames, Darragh
