Cinema was always already transnational (viz. various tedious arguments
about primacy)...if it is a tool, as Colin suggests, then the legitimate
question would be to ask: "A tool to do what?".
Bring about the collapse of national boundaries as arbitrary and
intrinsically unhelpful?
If so, I'm all for it.
However, to bring the syllogism back full circle: hasn't that always already
been true of the concept of nation?
