Festivals, no doubt, offer the most fruitful ground on which to investigate the transnational dynamic of cinema, but they are a complex phenomenon and anything but easy to study. Because they present such a dizzying convergence of numerous elements—cinephilia, tourism, art, business, geopolitics—they have escaped the traditional, rather limited frameworks in film studies. This volume brings these diverse dimensions together in a systematic method, offering productive theoretical and practical tools with which to address both the specificity of particular festivals and their embeddedness in a larger festival and cultural network.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-Meta Mazaj,\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eSenior Lecturer in Cinema Studies, University of Pennsylvania\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"For any scholar interested in the part played by film festivals in the emerging study of transnational film culture this excellent collection provides a comprehensive and vital starting point.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eGareth Stanton,\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eSenior Lecturer in Media and Communications, Goldsmiths, University of London\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"... the present volume treats film festivals theoretically and comparatively, considering them as networked sites that negotiate cultural capital on local, national, and global scales.
