Taiwan New Cinema at Film Festivals
Taiwan New Cinema (first wave, 1982-1989; second wave, 1990 onward) has a unique history regarding film festivals, particularly in the way these films are circulated at major European film festivals. It shares a common formalist concern about cinematic modernism with its Western counterparts, departing from previous modes of filmmaking that were preoccupied with nostalgically romanticizing China's image. Through utilising in-depth case studies of films by Taiwan-based directors: Tsai Ming-liang, Zhao Deyin and Hou Hsiao-hsien, Tsai discusses how Taiwan New Cinema represents a struggling configuration of the 'nation', brought forth by Taiwan's multilayered colonial and postcolonial histories. Taiwan New Cinema at Film Festivals presents the conditions that have led to the production of a national cinema, branding the auteur, and examines shifting representations of cultural identity in the context of globalization.
International Film Festivals
More than 5,000 film festivals take place globally and many of these have only been established in the last two decades. International Film Festivals collects the leading scholarship on this increasingly prominent phenomenon from both historical and contemporary perspectives, using diverse methods including archival research, interviews and surveys and drawing widely from fields like sociology, urban studies and film criticism to patent technology and history. With contributors from across the world and covering the major festivals - Cannes, Venice, Toronto, Berlin - as well as niche, genre and online film festivals, this book is an authoritative and exemplary guide to the evolution of these...
Australian Film Festivals
This is the first book to offer an in-depth examination of the history, operation, and growth of film festivals as a cultural phenomenon within Australia. Tracing the birth of film festivals in Australia in the 1950s through to their present abundance, it asks why film festivals have prospered as audience-driven spectacles throughout Australia, while never developing the same industry and market foci of their international fellows. Drawing on over sixty-years of archival records, festival commentary, interviews with festival insiders and ephemera, this book opens up a largely uncharted history of film culture activity in Australia.

Frank Borzage
This work brings to readers of English a comprehensive and engaging treatment of one of America's greatest, if largely forgotten, film directors. Originally published in 1993, Dumont's celebrated study has been translated from the French by Canadian Jonathan Kaplansky. After an introduction that decries Borzage's dismissal by later critics and historians and shows how his approach to moviemaking reflected his Masonic beliefs, 18 chapters present Borzage's entire career-the man, the actors he worked with, the more than 100 films he made, and the effect of those films on movie audiences, especially between 1920 and 1940. This is indeed the definitive reevaluation of one of the giants of filmdom. Lavishly illustrated with 100 photographs, this book will make the reader want to see as many of Borzage's films as possible, as soon as possible. A complete filmography, a chronological bibliography, and an index will be helpful in searching them out.
