The identity of European cinema, like the identity of Europe itself, is multiple, complex, & fascinating. Providing both a general survey of contemporary European cinema production, distribution & exhibition & detailed critical analysis of specific films, directors, & national cinemas, this volume offers a stimulating & thought-provoking contribution to current film debate. While the book’s critical essays offer keen insight into the complex identities of European cinema, its combination of breadth & detail, & its interdisciplinary focus & background ensure its wider relevance to anyone interested in questions of contemporary culture & European affairs in general.   
Its stylistic clarity & freedom from jargon make it readable and accessible. The essays have been written by respected academics working in a number of disciplines including Film & Media Studies, Modern Languages, & Cultural Studies. Topics include questions of memory & identity; filmic autobiography & first-person narration; cultural identity; peripheral voices; popular film & political film. Individual directors, & different national cinemas, including those of France, Germany, Northern Ireland, Russia, Scotland, & Spain, are viewed in a wider pan- European context.
