Synopsis

The first book devoted to a wide-ranging study of developments in global French-language cinema, from Quebec to Mauritania and from Belgium to Cambodia, Cin ma-monde picks up on the lively scholarly debates generated by the related topic of litt rature-monde. Extending the scope of this debate to cover the thriving and diverse area of international French-language cinema, this innovative book also considers cinema from France within the context of global production. With contributions from an international range of specialists, and with considerations of works by contemporary directors like Rachid Bouchareb, Abderrahmane Sissako and Rithy Panh, Cin ma-monde explores the porous borders around francophone spaces and the ways in which languages and identities 'travel' in contemporary cinema.
