Has European cinema, in the age of globalization, lost contact not only with

the world at large, but with its own audiences? Between the thriving

festival circuit and the obligatory late-night television slot, is there

still a public or a public sphere for European films? Can the cinema be the

appropriate medium for a multicultural Europe and its migrating multitudes?

Is there a division of representational labor, with Hollywood providing

stars and spectacle, the Asian countries exotic color and choreographed

action, and Europe a sense of history, place and memory? .

This collection of essays by an acclaimed film scholar examines how

independent filmmaking in Europe has been reinventing itself since the 1990s,

faced by renewed competition from Hollywood and the challenges posed to

national cinemas by the fall of the Wall in 1989. Elsaesser reassesses the

debates and presents a broader framework for understanding the

forces at work since the 1960s. These include the interface of & 8220;world

cinema& 8221; and the rise of Asian cinemas, the importance of the international

film festival circuit, the role of television, and the changing

aesthetics of auteur cinema. New audiences have different allegiances, and

new technologies enable networks to reshape identities, but European cinema

still has an important function in setting critical and creative agendas,

even as its economic and institutional bases are in transition. .
