Description
Transnational Cinema: An Introduction provides a comprehensive overview of the emerging field of transnational film studies. By exploring approaches to analysing films about migrant, cross-cultural and cross-border experiences, Steven Rawle demonstrates how film production has transcended national boundaries.
This introduction brings together key concepts and theories of transnational cinema, including genre, remakes, diasporic and exilic cinema, and the limitations of thinking about cinema as a uniquely national cultural artefact. It is an ideal resource for undergraduate students studying transnational and global cinema, as well as film enthusiasts seeking a strong foundation in this timely field.
