World Cinema: A Critical Introduction is a comprehensive yet
accessible guide to film industries across the globe. From the
1980s onwards, new technologies and increased globalization have
radically altered the landscape in which films are distributed and
exhibited. Films are made from the large-scale industries of India,
Hollywood, and Asia, to the small productions in Bhutan and
Morocco. They are seen in multiplexes, palatial art cinemas in
Cannes, traveling theatres in rural India, and on millions of
hand-held mobile screens. Authors Deshpande and Mazaj have
developed a method of charting this new world cinema that makes
room for divergent perspectives, traditions, and positions, while
also revealing their interconnectedness and relationships of
meaning. In doing so, they bring together a broad range of issues
and examples-theoretical concepts, viewing and production
practices, film festivals, large industries such as Nollywood and
Bollywood, and smaller and emerging film cultures-into a systemic
yet flexible map of world cinema. The multi-layered approach of
this book aims to do justice to the depth, dynamism, and complexity
of the phenomenon of world cinema. For students looking to films
outside of their immediate context, this book offers a blueprint
that will enable them to transform a casual encounter with a film
into a systematic inquiry into world cinema.
