Publisher Description:
A Companion to Eastern European Cinemas showcases twenty-five essays written by established and emerging film scholars that trace the history of Eastern European cinemas and offer an up-to-date assessment of post-socialist film cultures.

  • Features consideration of lesser known areas of study, such as Albanian and Baltic cinemas, popular genre films, cross-national distribution and aesthetics, animation and documentary
  • Places the cinemas of the region in a European and global context
  • Resists the Cold War classification of Eastern European cinemas as "other" art cinemas by reconnecting them with the main circulation of film studies
  • Includes discussion of such films as Taxidermia, El Perro Negro, 12:08 East of Bucharest Big T ll, and Breakfast on the Grass and explores the work of directors including Tam s Alm si, Walerian Borowczyk, Roman Polanski, Jerzy Skolimowski, Andrzej u3awski, and Karel Vachek amongst many others
