Description de l'ouvrage:
World Cinema on Demand brings together diverse contributions by leading film and media scholars to examine world cinema’s dialogue with the transformations that took place during 2010-2014, engaging directly with ongoing debates surrounding national cinema, transnational identity, and cultural globalization, as well as ideas about genre, fandom and cinephilia. The contributions look at individual national patterns of online distribution, engaging with archives, SVODS and torrent communities. The essays also investigate the cross-cultural presence of world cinema in non-domestic online markets (such as Europe’s, for example). As a result, the volume sheds light on geo-politically specific issues of film circulation, consumption and preservation within a range of culturally diverse filmmaking contexts, including case studies from India, Nigeria, Mexico and China. In this way, the collection maps the impact of different online formats of distribution in the understanding of World Cinema, underlining the links between distribution and media provisions as well as engaging with new forms of intermediation.

"An impressive collection on online film distribution with an original focus on World Cinema in the early stages of the development of the online market." ―Roderik Smits, Research Fellow, University Carlos III of Madrid, Spain

This excellent anthology is an insightful and well researched work examining the complex and at times paradoxical developments of digital distribution and disintermediation. It stands out from others in its focus on national cinema and transnational distribution, offering a vital contribution to the rapidly evolving area of study." ―Shujen Wang, Professor, Department of Visual & Media Arts, Emerson College, USA

"This collection of essays will forever change the way you think about world cinema. Bringing together some of our finest writers on film, technology and globalisation, World Cinema On Demand maps the diverse circulatory terrain of cinema-in-the-world – from Netflix and Mubi to illegal torrents, fan groups and social media platforms." ―Ramon Lobato, Associate Professor, RMIT University, Australia, and author of Shadow Economies of Cinema and Netflix Nations
