View Vol. 23 No. 41 (2023): Cinematic Continuities, Changes and 
Challenges in Europe: Reflections on Recent Shifts in European Cinema

Edited by Daniel Biltereyst, Elena Gipponi and Andrea Miconi

This theme issue is a result of research done in the context of the 
Horizon 2020 project “European Media Platforms: Assessing Positive and 
Negative Externalities for European Culture-EUMEPLAT”, funded by the 
European Commission in Grant Agreement Number 101004488. It deals with 
some main research questions: how has the US filmed entertainment 
industry succeeded in expanding its hegemony? Are US streamers, such as 
Netflix, now setting the standard, and what are the consequences for 
European cinema? Is it beneficial to respond to, or challenge, this 
hegemony? Should we not strive to overcome the antagonism between 
Hollywood and Europe, and acknowledge European cinema’s marginalized 
position while fully recognizing the richness of its hybrid and 
hyphenated identities? Other related questions in this issues deal with 
how European filmmakers and cultural institutions envision new realities 
and redefine socio-economic and cultural boundaries within and beyond 
Europe? What narratives does European cinema construct about the old 
continent, about inclusion and diversity, or about issues such as 
poverty, precarity, migration, and other pressing concerns? How do films 
navigate across borders? What is the role of language, and should 
European filmmakers consider moving away from Europe’s multilingualism 
to embrace English, the cinematic lingua franca? Are European 
co-productions viable strategies for overcoming cultural, linguistic, 
and other obstacles?
