From a near standing start in the 1970s, the emergence and
expansion of an aesthetically and culturally distinctive Scottish
cinema proved to be one of the most significant developments within
late-twentieth and early twenty-first-century British film culture.
Individual Scottish films and filmmakers have attracted notable
amounts of critical attention as a result. The New Scottish Cinema,
however, is the first book to trace Scottish film culture's
industrial, creative and critical evolution in comprehensive detail
across a forty-year period. On the one hand, it invites readers to
reconsider the known - films such as Shallow Grave, Ratcatcher, The
Magdalene Sisters, Young Adam, Red Road and The Last King of
Scotland. On the other, it uncovers the overlooked, from the 1980s
comedic film makers who followed in the footsteps of Bill Forsyth
to the variety of present-day Scottish film making - a body of work
that encompasses explorations of multiculturalism, exploitation of
the macabre and much else in between.In addition to analysing an
eclectic range of films and filmmakers, The New Scottish Cinema
also examines the diverse industrial, institutional and cultural
contexts which have allowed Scottish film to evolve and grow since
the 1970s, and relates these to the images of Scotland which
artists have put on screen. In so doing, the book narrates a story
of interest to any student of contemporary British film.
