Description:
In this edited collection, an international ensemble of scholars examine what contemporary cinema tells us about neoliberal capitalism and cinema, exploring whether filmmakers are able to imagine progressive alternatives under capitalist conditions.
Review Quotes:
"A polemical but also nuanced exploration of practices and representations of neoliberalism in contemporary cinema, the collection offers clarity, depth and specificity both in its conceptual framing and the case studies included. From Loach to American Independent Cinema, Greece to China, and amateur films to romcoms, the range and variety of contexts examined, and approaches adopted, will render the book into a key resource for the study of ideology and/in cinema."
