Description
This book examines the role of community filmmaking in society and its connection with issues of cultural diversity, innovation, policy and practice in various places. Deploying a range of examples from Europe, North America, Australia and Hong Kong, the chapters show that film emerging from outside the mainstream film industries and within community contexts can lead to innovation in terms of both content and processes and a better representation of the cultural diversity of a range of communities and places. The book aims to situate the community filmmaker as the central node in the complex network of relationships between diverse communities, funding bodies, policy and the film industries.
Reviews / Votes
"Community Filmmaking takes up central issues in contemporary media studies, from representational politics and public policy to screen culture and civic engagement, in a unique and productive fashion. Theoretically sophisticated and empirically rich, this volume is a welcome addition to a growing body of scholarship on community, participatory and collaborative media practices." --Kevin Howley, DePauw University, USAMore details
