Steven Rawle

Cross-border politics and interactions are a core part of our lives in a 
global era and cinema is perhaps the medium best placed to engage with 
these globalised themes. Transnational Cinema: An Introduction provides 
a thorough overview of the recently emerged field of transnational film 
studies. Covering a range of approaches to analysing films about 
migrant, cross-cultural and cross-border experience, Steven Rawle 
demonstrates how film production has moved beyond clear national 
boundaries to become a product of border crossing finance and creative 
personnel. This extensive text brings together key concepts and theories 
of transnational cinema, including genre, remakes, diasporic and exilic 
cinema, and the limits of thinking about cinema as a particularly 
national cultural artefact. It is an excellent course companion for 
students of Film, Cinema, Media and Cultural Studies studying 
transnational and global cinema, and provides both students and loves of 
film alike with a strong grounding in this timely field of film studies.

'Lively and stimulating, this book is a pleasure to read and offers the 
most comprehensive introduction to transnational cinema on the market.' 
- Iain Smith, King's College, London, UK
