Intellect is pleased to present Asian Cinema 36.2!


This Special Issue explores the theme of ‘Aesthetics of Fear in Asian Cinema’. The issue brings together articles focusing on the themes and structures of cinema from various parts of Asia. The terminology ‘aesthetics of fear’ involves the consideration of fear as a fluid, open-ended cinematic tool as well as a methodology and medium in itself for cinematic expressions of arts, affect, creativity, ecology and other relevant relationships that revolve around fear dynamics.
