European Cinema and Television Cultural Policy and Everyday Life

“The essays are all well written, cover a wide range of examples and identify pathways for innovative methodologies and integrative forms of analysis. It is a work of great scholarship and collective endeavor that will be of real value to anyone interested in European cinemas, television, policy, society and culture, and perhaps above all for those, like the book’s editors and authors, interested in the connections across all these domains.” (Jonathan Hardy, Transnational Cinemas, March, 2016)

“It provides data, detailed descriptions of practices and regulative policies as well as some of their consequences in the complex, fragmented, transnational, occasionally successful, but ultimately somewhat disordered, film and television landscape of Europe. … European Cinema and Television: Cultural Policy and Everyday Life represents an authoritative and significant contribution to the increasingly studied field that is the industries and regulative frameworks of European film and television.” (Olof Hedling, Nordicom Review, Vol. 37 (1), 2016)
