Yet, despite the increasing consumption of films from these countries - via DVD, VOD platforms and other alternative channels - there is a lack of comprehensive information on this key aspect of visual culture. This important book rectifies the glaring gap and provides both a history and a contemporary account of East Central European cinema in the pre-WW2, socialist, and post-socialist periods. Demonstrating how at different historical moments popular cinema fulfilled various roles, for example in the capacity of nation-building, and adapted to the changing markets of a morphing political landscape, chapters bring together experts in the field for the definitive analysis of mainstream cinema in the region.Celebrating the unique contribution of films from Hungary, the Czech Republic/Czechoslovakia and Poland, from the award-winning Cosy Dens to cult favourite Lemonade Joe, and from 1960s Polish Westerns to Hollywood-influenced Hungarian movies, the book addresses the major themes of popular cinema. By looking closely at genre, stardom, cinema exhibition, production strategies and the relationship between the popular and the national, it charts the remarkable evolution and transformation of popular cinema over time."--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aInternational library of the moving image ;$v40. 606 $aMotion pictures$zEurope, Central$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMotion pictures$zEurope, Eastern$xHistory$y20th century 606 $2Films, cinema 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory 676 $a791.430943 702 $aOstrowska$b Dorota$f1973- 702 $aPitassio$b Francesco 702 $aVarga$b Zsuzsanna 712 02$aBloomsbury (Firm), 801 0$bYDX 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815541403321 996 $aPopular Cinemas in East Central Europe$91732246 997 $aUNINA
