"Studying British Cinema: 1999--2009" adopts a number of
approaches to popularist, mainstream, and esoteric arthouse films.
The book considers the institutional and financial factors that
influence U.K. film production and assesses issues of genre,
representation, authorship, and social, economic, and political
contexts. The growth of coproduction is considered by looking at
both Aardman Animation and the Harry Potter franchise (2001 to the
present). Representations of social class factor into films as
diverse as "Red Road" (2006) and "Love, Actually" (2003), and
developments in social realism, primarily by female directors, are
examined. The revival of the British science fiction and horror
film is also covered in detail, and ethnic groups and new economic
migrants are viewed in two separate chapters, as well as the growth
of films concerning British protagonists in Africa. One section
offers a close analysis of two of the most important directors of
the decade: Michael Winterbottom and Shane Meadows.
