For too long, the field of amateur cinema has focused on North America 
and Europe. In /Global Perspectives on Amateur Film Histories and 
Cultures/, however, editors Masha Salazkina and Enrique Fibla-Gutiérrez 
fill the literature gap by extending that focus and increasing inclusivity.

Through carefully curated essays, Salazkina and Fibla-Gutiérrez bring 
wider meaning and significance to the discipline through their study of 
alternative cinema in new territories, fueled by different historical 
and political circumstances, innovative technologies, and ambitious 
practitioners. The essays in this volume work to realize the radical 
societal democratization that shows up in amateur cinema around the 
world. In particular, diverse contributors highlight the significance of 
amateur filmmaking, the exhibition of amateur films, the uses and 
availability of film technologies, and the inventive and creative 
approaches of filmmakers and advocates of amateur film.

Together, these essays shed new light on alternative cinema in a wide 
range of cities and countries where amateur films thrive in the shadow 
of commercial and conventional film industries.*__*
