Cinema is often perceived as a metropolitan medium - an
entertainment product of the big city and for the big city. Yet
film exhibitors have been bringing moving pictures to towns and
villages since the early days of itinerant shows. This volume
presents for the first time an exploration of the social, cultural
and economic dynamics of film culture in the European countryside.
Spanning more than a century of film exhibition from the early
twentieth-century to the present day, Cinema Beyond the City
examines the role that movie-going has played in small-town and
rural communities across Europe. It documents an amazing diversity
of sites and situations that are relevant for understanding
historical and current patterns in film consumption. In chapters
written by leading scholars and young academics, interdisciplinary
research is used to address key questions about access, economic
viability, audience behaviour, film programming and the cultural
flows between cities and hinterlands. With its wide range of
regional studies and innovative methodological approaches, the
collection will be of interest not only to film historians, but
also to scholars in the fields of urban history, rural studies and
cultural geography.
