Cinema of Crisis: Film and Contemporary Europe explores the
politics and aesthetics of filmmaking across a continent in flux.
This urgent and necessary collection brings together scholars from
Spain to Estonia, Hungary to Britain, in order to trace European
filmmakers' diverse responses to the interlinked upheavals and
emergencies of the past three decades. Covering topics such as the
collapse of the eastern bloc; deindustrialisation; the 2008 crash
and the eurozone debt crisis; austerity and neoliberalism, as well
as 'Fortress Europe' and the 'refugee crisis', this book
investigates a range of audiovisual forms, including documentaries,
the work of arthouse auteurs, and videos posted on YouTube. It
engages in highly topical debates in political and aesthetic
spheres, and explores key interfaces between the two.
