Postcommunist Film - Russia, Eastern Europe and World Culture : Moving Images of Postcommunism Hardback
Edited by Lars Kristensen
Part of the Routledge Contemporary Russia and Eastern Europe Series series
Hardback
Description
A post-communist condition has arisen from the fall of the Berlin Wall and later the Soviet Empire: this book looks at how this condition has manifested itself globally in the production of post-communist film.
It argues post-communism is a shared experience on a geopolitical level, unlimited by national state borders, and examines post-communist cross culturalism and global totalitarianism within film. The book examines different national cinemas and dissimilar cinematic modes - from Russian blockbuster cinema to Chinese independent cinema; from Serbian city films to revolutionary films of Mozambique - all formulated as within the postcommunist condition.
It considers the postcommunist film in terms of transnational and World cinema.
It covers a wide range of films from small and independent filmmaking to mainstream, popular cinema, and explains post-communist signifiers as manifested in visual culture both inside and outside former, and current, communist countries.
