European Cinema in the Streaming Era, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

'Timely and wide-ranging, this is a lucid and essential read. It offers a telling account of the far-reaching impacts of the global streaming revolution on all facets of today's European film industries, as they transition from the recent sweeping changes to a still evolving future.'

Laura Rascaroli, Professor of Film and Media at University College Cork

'This excellent collection demonstrates how European producers, distributors and exhibitors have found various ways of engaging with the streaming platforms - oppositional, evasive or integrational. What constitutes "Europeanness" is being revised and redefined through the work of numerous important scholars in the field.'

Andrew Spicer, Professor of Cultural Production, University of the West of England

This collection examines the impact of streaming platforms on European cinema. It is structured from three distinct points-of-view: the policy issues related to streaming platforms, equally at the European level and in individual countries; the impact of platforms on the circulation of European films, including some of the global players, multi-national and single-nation platforms operating in Europe; and the production activities of the platforms in the form of specific 'original' films. By bringing together scholars working on various national cinemas, including those of France, Spain, Britain and other countries, this collection illuminates the many ways in which the European film industry is responding to the digital revolution.
