Reviews

Cinema at the Periphery focuses our attention on a wide range of dy­namic films and film practices from around the globe whose value is not in their relationship to a Hollywood norm but in their ability to reveal the impact of the local, to suggest alternative spheres of influence, to recognize the range of original and creative work produced outside the dominant center, and to potentially raise differ­ent theoretical questions."-- "Joseph Bierman"
