Summary: "This book celebrates the 50 years of my prescence and work in Australia in the area of entertaining business for the Greek-Australian community and beyond. It also manifests the pleasure I had in working with people in Greece, Cyprus, Australia and New Zealand in order to promote Greek Cinema as an important aspect in the life of Greek migrants, especially during the post-World War II period, when the chain migration movement from Greece and Cyprus to Australia reached its highest point. With this book, I record, evidence and bring to the attention of interested people unknown stories in the entertaining business in Australia and New Zealand. For Greek migrants of the late 50's and 60's, watching Greek movies was not just a way of amusing themselves, but a way of staying in touch with their homeland, its language and culture.

Summary: "The history of Greek cinema is a rather obsure and unexamined affair. Greek cinema started slowly and then collapsed, for several years it struggled to reinvent itself, produced its first mature works, then collapsed completely and almost vanished. Because of such a complex historical trajectory no comprehensive survey of the development of Greek cinema has been written in English. This book is the first to explore its development and the contexts that defined it by focusing on its main films, personalities and theoretical discussions. A History of Greek Cinema focuses on the early decades of the form and filmmakers' attempts to establish a 'national' cinema useful to social cohesion and national identity. It also analyses the problems and dilemma many directors faced in establishing a distinctly Greek cinematic language and presents the various stages of Greek cinema's development against the backdrop of the country's turbulent political history. The book combines historical analysis and discussions about cinematic form to construct a narrative history of Greek cinematic successes and failures" -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: "Independent Filmmaking around the Globe calls attention to the significant changes taking place in independent cinema today, as new production and distribution technology and shifting social dynamics make it easier for independent filmmakers to produce films outside both the mainstream global film industry and their own national film systems. Identifying and analyzing the many complex forces that shape the production and distribution of feature films, the authors detail how independent filmmakers create work that reflects independent voices and challenges political, economic, and cultural constraints. With chapters on the under-explored cinemas of Greece, Turkey, Iraq, China, Malaysia, Peru, and West Africa, as well as traditional production centres such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, Independent Filmmaking around the Globe explores how contemporary independent filmmaking increasingly defines the global cinema of our time." -- TAKEN FROM FIRST PAGE OF BOOK

Summary: In New Approaches to Contemporary Adaptation, editor Betty Kaklamanidou defiantly claims that "all films are adaptations." The wide-ranging chapters included in this book highlight the growing and evolving relevance of the field of adaptation studies and its many branding subfields. Armed with a wealth of methodologies, theoretical concepts, and sophisticated paradigms of case-studies analyses of the past, these scholars expand the field to new and exciting realms. With chapters on data, television, music, visuality, and transnationalism, this anthology aims to complement the literature of the field by asking answers to outstanding questions while proposing new ones: Whose stories have been adapted in the last few decades? Are films that are based on "true stories" simply adaptations of those real events? How do transnational adaptations differ from adaptations that target the same national audiences as the texts they adapt? What do long-running TV shows actually adapt when their source is a single book or novel? To attempt to answer these questions, New Approaches to Contemporary Adaptation is organized in three parts. Part 1, "External Influences on Adaptation," delves into matters surrounding film adaptations without primarily focusing on textual analysis of the final cinematic product. Part 2, "Millennial TV and Franchise Adaptations," demonstrates that the contemporary television landscape has become fruitful terrain for adaptation studies. Part 3, "ElasTEXTity and Adaptation," explores different thematic approaches to adaptation studies and how adaptation extends beyond traditional media. Spanning media and the globe, contributors complement their research with tools from sociology, psychoanalysis, gender studies, race studies, translation studies, and political science. Kaklamanidou makes it clear that adaptation is vital to sharing important stories and mythologies, as well as passing knowledge to new generations. The aim of this anthology is to open up the field of adaptation studies by revisiting the object of analysis and proposing alternative ways of looking at it. Scholars of cultural, gender, film, literary, and adaptation studies will find this collection innovative and thought-provoking. -- publisher's web site

Summary: "A filmic guidebook of the Greek capital. World Film Locations: Athens takes readers to film locations in the central historical district with excursions to the periphery of Athens--popular neighbourhoods, poor suburbs, and slums often represented in postwar neorealist films--and then on to garden cities and upper class suburbs, especially those preferred by the auteurs of the 1970s. Of course, no Grecian vacation would be complete without a visit to the sea, and summer resorts, hotels, and beaches near Athens are frequent backdrops for international productions. However, more recent economic strife has emptied city neigbourhoods, created urban violence, and caused an increase in riots in the Mediterranean city, and representations of this on film are juxtaposed with images of the eternal and idyllic city. Featuring both Greek and foreign productions from various genres and historical periods, World Film Locations: Athens ultimately works to establish connections between the various aethetics of dominant representations of Athens." -- BOOK BLURB
