Dear Members,
Bloomsbury Digital Resources are delighted to share with you our current featured content on World Cinema, bringing together a wealth of content addressing the many forms of filmmaking in national and regional cinema contexts, as well as cinemas of migration and diaspora: https://www.screenstudies.com/featured-content
• In the introduction to her book World Cinema and the Ethics of Realism, Lúcia Nagib addresses the term ‘world cinema’, arguing that it should not be seen as the other of mainstream or Hollywood cinema, but as a diverse phenomenon, with peaks of creation in different places and periods.
• In The Cinema of Jia Zhangke, Cecília Mello discusses how the contemporary Chinese director tackles questions of realism and memory.
• Sarah Barrow takes a look at how cinema helped to forge a Peruvian national identity in a chapter from Contemporary Peruvian Cinema.
• Filmmaker John Akomfrah discusses the tension in post-war African cinema and cultural politics, with reference to directors such as Ousmane Sembène and Suleymane Cissé, in a conversation with Valentine Vitali and Paul Willemen.

Brand new Early Cinema Lesson Plan and Early Film History Bibliographic Guide
The first quarter-century of cinema, from around 1895 to 1918, established the template for the films that came after, while also being fundamentally different from them. During this period, various national cinemas produced global commodities, the studio system that would dominate so much of later cinema was developed, and the star system became firmly established. By the end of World War I, the cinema had matured into an international industry of significant economic, political, and cultural importance.
Exclusive and specially-commissioned, our research and learning tools are designed with teachers, students, and researchers in mind: https://www.screenstudies.com/learning-resources
