Popular Music and the Moving Image in Eastern Europe is the first
collection to discuss the ways in which popular music has been used
cinematically, from musicals to music videos to documentary film,
in Eastern Europe from 1945 to the present day. It argues that
during the period of state socialism, moving image was an important
tool of promoting music in the respective countries and creating
popular cinema. Yet despite this importance, filmmakers who
specialized in musicals lacked the social prestige of leading
'auteurs' and received little critical attention. The resulting
scholarly prejudice towards pop culture created a severe shortage
of critical studies of the genre. With the fall of state socialism
- and with it, the need for economically viable film and media
industries - brought about an unprecedented upsurge of films
utilizing popular music, and a greater recognition of popular
cinema as a legitimate object of study. Popular Music and the
Moving Image in Eastern Europe fills the gap and demonstrates why
the popular music-cinema interface needs to be theorized with
respect to the political, ideological, and social forces invested
in popular culture.
