"Storytelling in World Cinemas, Vol. 1: Forms" is an innovative
collection of essays that discuss how different cinemas of the
world tell stories. The book locates European, Asian, African, and
Latin American films within their wider cultural and artistic
frameworks, showing how storytelling forms in cinema are infused
with influences from other artistic, literary, and oral traditions.
This volume also reconsiders cinematic storytelling in general,
highlighting the hybridity of 'national' forms of storytelling,
calling for a rethinking of African cinematic storytelling that
goes beyond oral traditions, and addressing films characterised by
'non-narration'. This study is the first in a two-volume project,
with the second focusing on the contexts of cinematic
storytelling.
