Greek Cinema

Klappentext Covering the silent era to the present, this wide-ranging collection of essays examines Greek cinema as an aesthetic, cultural and political phenomenon with the potential to appeal to a diverse range of audiences. Using a range of methodological tools, the authors investigate the ever-shifting forms and meanings at work within Greece's national cinema and locate it within the booming interdisciplinary study of European cinema at large. Designed for undergraduate courses in film studies, this well-researched volume fills a substantial gap in the market for critical works on Greek cinema in English. "A major reference point in European--and indeed, global--film studies for at least a decade to come."--David Martin-Jones, University of St Andrews Zusammenfassung A collection of essays that examines Greek cinema from the silent era to the present as an aesthetic, cultural and political phenomenon. It uses a range of methodological tools to investigate its changing forms and meanings, and locates Greek cinema in the context of the emerging study of peripheral European cinemas.
