Apologies for cross-posting. I'd like to alert members to my new book: South American Cinematic Culture: Policy, Production, Distribution and Exhibition It is available from Cambridge Scholars Publishing http://www.c-s-p.org/Flyers/South-American-Cinematic-Culture--Policy--Production--Distribution-and-Exhibition1-4438-2483-6.htmand can also be purchased on Amazon's UK site. Date Of Publication: Nov 2010 Isbn13: 978-1-4438-2483-5 Isbn: 1-4438-2483-6 This study of South American cinema offers a new way of approaching the variety of films available in the region. It brings to light the interconnectivity between state-run institutions (film councils, cinemateques, archives), altruistic bodies (film festival funds, NGOs) and commercial organisations (production companies, exhibitors and distributors). Examples of filmmakers, policy initiatives, funding sources and alternative film networks combine to produce a rich overview of one of the most significant sites for non-Western filmmaking in the twenty-first century. There is an awareness of the place South American cinema has on the international stage and, for this reason, the study involves an in depth look at the way film products are circulated within national boundaries and through external global circuits. Drawing on scholarship from studies on Latin American culture, cultural policy, indigeneity, digital technology, globalisation, transculturation and the public sphere, new links are traced between the various fields. Dr Miriam Ross is a Lecturer in Film Studies at Victoria University Wellington, New Zealand. She completed her PhD thesis on South American Cinema at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, and has undertaken a number of research trips in Latin America. Previously, she published material based on Ibero-American film festivals, alternative exhibition in Peru and film policy in South America. She has also published material relating to South Korean cinema. If anyone would like review copies please get in touch with the publishers to see about availability. best wishes Miriam Ross -- http://glasgow.academia.edu/MiriamRoss -------------------------------------------------------- MeCCSA mailing list -------------------------------------------------------- To manage your subscription or unsubscribe from the MECCSA list, please visit: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=MECCSA&A=1 ------------------------------------------------------- MeCCSA is the subject association for the field of media, communication and cultural studies in UK Higher Education.
