An important addition to Intellect's popular series, "Directory
of World Cinema: Finland" provides historical and cultural
overviews of the country's cinema. Over the course of their
contributions to this volume, scholars from a variety of
disciplines construct a collective argument that complicates the
dominant international view of Finnish cinema as small-scale
industry dominated by realist art-house films. The contributors
approach the topic from a variety of angles, covering genre, art,
and commercial films; independent productions; blockbuster cinema;
and Finnish cinema's industrial and historical contexts. While
paying heed to Finland's cultural specificity, the contributors
also explore Finnish cultural industries within the broader context
of international political, economic, artistic, and industrial
developments. Together, they skillfully depict an ever-changing
national film culture that plays a dynamic role in the global
cinematic landscape. "The Directory of World Cinema: Finland" will
therefore expand not only global interest in Finnish cinema but
also the parameters within which it is discussed.
