Remapping Brazilian film culture in the twenty-first century

Dennison, Stephanie, author

Overview

\"Remapping Brazilian Film Culture makes a significant contribution not only to debates about Brazilian national cinema, but more generally about the development of world cinema in the 21st century. This book charts the key features of Brazilian film culture of the first two decades of the twenty-first century, including: the latest cultural debates within Brazil on film funding and distribution practices; the impact of diversity politics on the Brazilian film industry; the reception and circulation of Brazilian films on the international film festival circuit and the impact on cultural production of the sharp change in political direction at national level experienced post-2016. The principle of \"remapping\" here is based on a need to move on from potentially limiting concepts such as \"the national\", which can serve to unduly ghettoise a cinema, film industry and audience. The book argues that Brazilian film culture should be read as being part of a globally articulated film culture whose internal workings are necessarily distinctive and thus deserving of World Cinema scholars' attention. A blend of industry studies, audience reception and cultural studies, Remapping Brazilian Film Culture is a dynamic volume for students and researchers in film studies, particularly Brazilian, Latin American and World Cinema\"-- Provided by publisher.
