Remapping Brazilian Film Culture in the Twenty-First Century

<p><em>Remapping Brazilian Film Culture</em> makes a significant contribution not only to debates about Brazilian national cinema but more generally about the development of world cinema in the twenty-first century.</p><p>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. </p><p>A blend of industry studies audience reception and cultural studies <i>Remapping Brazilian Film Culture</i> is a dynamic volume for students and researchers in film studies particularly Brazilian Latin American and world cinema.</p><p>*Honorary Mention - Best Book in Humanities for the LASA Brazil Prize 2021*</p>
