Beyond Auteurism - New Directions in Authorial Film Practices in France, Italy Spain

Informationen zum Autor Rosanna Maule is assistant professor of film studies at Concordia University, Montreal. "Beyond Auteurism" is a comprehensive study of nine directors who have blurred the boundaries between art house and mainstream, national and transnational, film production. Rosanna Maule argues that the film auteur is not only the most important symbol of European cinema's cultural tradition, but a crucial part of Europe's efforts to develop its cinema within domestic and international film industries. Through the examples of Luc Besson, Claire Denis, Gabriele Salvatores, and others, this volume offers an important contribution to a historical understanding of filmmaking that rejects America-centric practices. Zusammenfassung A study of nine film authors from France, Italy and Spain who since the 1980s have blurred the boundaries between art-house and mainstream, and national and transnational film production. It examines how the individuals have maintained a dialectical relationship with the authorial tradition of the national cinema to which each belongs.
