Subject Description

This subject is a study of the institutional and cultural aspects of national cinemas - these may be drawn from the Mediterranean, British, Asian, European, South American or African. In any given year the focus will be on either a survey of different national cinemas or on a specific cinema emerging from a particular cultural environment. The representation of regional, class and gender differences will be studied in relation to formal and aesthetic invention and the construction of national identities. Students should complete the subject with a grasp of the concept of a national cinema in relation to contemporary film production, exhibition and distribution.
