East European Cinemas

Eastern Europe has produced rich and varied film cultures--Czech, Hungarian, and Serbian among them--whose histories have been intimately tied to the transition from Soviet domination to the complexities of post-Communist life. This latest volume in theAFI FilmReadersseries presents a long-overdue reassessment of East European cinemas from theoretical, psychoanalytic, and gender perspectives, moving the subject beyond the traditional "area studies" approach to the region's films. This ambitious collection, situating Eastern Europe's many cinemas within global paradigms of film study, will be an essential work for all students of cinema and for anyone interested in the relation of film to culture and society.
