Many studios, in a range of locations, now have the size and sophistication to service large-budget feature film production. This comprehensive study of contemporary international studio considers the circumstances in which this rash of studio complex building and renovating has occurred – in places as diverse as Rome, London, Berlin, Prague, Vancouver, Toronto, Sydney, the Gold Coast and Melbourne. Central to the study is an understanding of studio complexes as cinema and media cities providing not only sound stages but a full range of production and post-production services in the one location. Cinema Cities, Media Cities is the first published analysis of this new international studio system, its origins, its business and its policy contexts. [Taken from back cover.]ISBN: 0958015279
