book		Cinema and nation / [edited by] Mette Hjort and Scott MacKenzie London New York: Routledge, 2000. Call No: 408.1 CIN Author: Hjort, Mette; MacKenzie, Scott, 1967 Place: London New York Publisher: Routledge PubDate: 2000 PhysDes: xvi, 332 p., ill., 25 cm Subject: NATIONAL IDENTITY AND THE CINEMA; COPRODUCTION. EUROPEAN COUNTRIES; UNITED KINGDOM : SCOTLAND; INDONESIA; POLAND; TURKEY; INDIA; GERMANY; STATE AND THE CINEMA; CAPRA, FRANK Summary: Leading film scholars, philosophers and sociologists consider the ways in which film production and reception are shaped by ideas of national identity and belonging. The contributors discuss a wide range of cinemas, in Europe, Asia and the Americas, exploring the relationship between nation states for both the concept and the reality of national cinema. In the book’s first three sections, contributors explore sociological approaches to national identity, challenge established ideas about ‘national cinema’, and consider the ways in which national states – from the former Soviet Union to Contemporary Scotland – use cinema in their efforts to create a national cinema, and consider how images of the nation are understood by audiences both at home and abroad.

book		The education of the filmmaker in Europe, Australia, and Asia / edited by Mette Hjort New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2013. Call No: 510 EDU Author: Hjort, Mette (ed.) Source: US Place: New York Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan PubDate: 2013 PhysDes: xii, 269 p : ill.; 24 cm Series: Global cinema Subject: EDUCATION, FILM; EDUCATION, FILM. AUSTRALIA; EDUCATION, FILM. ASIA; EDUCATION, FILM. EUROPEAN COUNTRIES; FILMMAKING Summary: "Practice-based film education is a crucial element in the institutional landscape of film. Despite its institutional significance, its decisive impact on the dynamics of entire film industries, the aspirations of film practioners, and the content and form of the films that are produced, practice-based film education is still a neglected topic in film scholarship. The Education of the Filmmaker in Europe, Australia, and Asia is an attempt to begin to fill the lacuna in question by looking at film training programs in countries such as Lithuania, Scotland, Sweden, Australia, Japan, and others. Examining aspects of flimmaking such as environmental impact, influences on local culture, and sway over city policy, this book looks at how training of filmmakers reaches beyond the films themselves to all aspects of culture and society.
