[ecrea] New book: Reconceptualising Film Policies

We are delighted to announce the publication of our edited collection, 
/Reconceptualising Film Policies/ (Routledge).

Offical 'blurb': This volume explores and interrogates the shifts in 
film policies over the past thirty years. It assesses the logic that has 
traditionally guided policy-makers, while bringing to light the agency 
of film professionals. It covers film industries from all over the 
world, foregrounding issues relating to geographical and economic 
integration, political regimes and new technologies. Featuring chapters 
by leading and rising academics, in-depth case studies and interviews 
with practitioners and policy-makers, this book provides a timely 
overview of governments’ and industries’ responses to the changing 
landscape of the production, distribution and consumption of films.
