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.<br>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

South Korean cinema.<br><br>If anyone would like review copies please get in touch with the publishers to see about availability.<br><br>best wishes<br>Miriam Ross<br clear="all"><br>-- <br><a href="http://glasgow.academia.edu/MiriamRoss" target="_blank">http://glasgow.academia.edu/MiriamRoss</a><br>
