Book Synopsis

The Routledge Companion to New Cinema History presents the most recent approaches and methods in the study of the social experience of cinema, from its origins in vaudeville and traveling exhibitions to the multiplexes of today.

This companion examines the place, space, and practices of film exhibition and programming; the questions of gender and ethnicity within the cinematic experience;
