By the mid-20th Century, supported by changes in transportation, suburbs became the primary location of entire national populations and films about the suburbs began to concertedly reflect those suburbs? significance as well as their increasingly lively cultures! Suburbia very soon became filmurbia, as films of the suburbs and those made in the suburbs reflected both the positive and the negative aspects of burgeoning suburban life. Film-makers explored the existences of new suburbanites, their interests, their newly emerging neighbourhood practices, their foibles, their fantasies and their hopes. Whether depicting love, ambition, commerce, family, home or horror, whether traveling to or living in suburban spaces, whether exhibiting beauty, brazenness or brutality, the films of suburbia capture human life in all its diverse guises. 606 $aMotion pictures 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aEthnology 606 $aFilm Theory 606 $aHuman Geography 606 $aSociocultural Anthropology 615 0$aMotion pictures. 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 14$aFilm Theory. 615 24$aHuman Geography. 615 24$aSociocultural Anthropology. 676 $a791.4301 702 $aForrest$b David$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aHarper$b Graeme$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aRayner$b Jonathan$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255359603321 996 $aFilmurbia$91910292 997 $aUNINA
