Cinema At The Periphery

From Iceland To Iran, From Singapore To Scotland, A Growing Intellectual And Cultural Wave Of Production Is Taking Cinema Beyond The Borders Of Its Place Of Originexploring Faraway Places, Interacting With Barely Known Peoples, And Making New Localities Imaginable. In These Films, Previously Entrenched Spatial Divisions No Longer Function As Firmly Fixed Grid Coordinates, The Hierarchical Position Of Place As Center Is Subverted, And New Forms Of Representation Become Possible. In Cinema At The Periphery, Editors Dina Iordanova, David Martin-jones, And Beln Vidal Assemble Criticism That Explores Issues Of The Periphery, Including Questions Of Transnationality, Place, Space, Passage, And Migration.
