Global Art Cinema successfully recuperates 'art cinema' and introduces 'global art cinema' as a new term for discussion and debate.

The emergence of East Asian and Latin American new waves, the reinvigoration of European film, the success of Iranian directors, and the rise of the film festival have transformed the landscape of world cinema. Global Art Cinema brings together a diverse group of scholars in a timely conversation that reaffirms the category of art cinema as relevant, provocative, and, in fact, fundamental to contemporary film studies.. This book brings into focus art cinema's core internationalism, demonstrating its centrality to understanding film as a global phenomenon. And yet in the last thirty years art cinema has flourished worldwide. In addition to analysis of key regions and films, the essays cover topics including theories of the film image; industrial, aesthetic, and political histories; and art film's intersections with debates on genre, sexuality, new media forms, and postcolonial cultures. The book reassesses the field of art cinema in light of recent scholarship on world film cultures. "Art cinema" has for over fifty years defined how audiences and critics imagine film outside Hollywood, but surprisingly little scholarly attention has been paid to the concept since the 1970s
