After the "Great Studio Pullback of ’08"
This article surveys the field of American independent film theatrical distribution in the years following the so-called “great studio pullback of ’08” and until the end of the second decade of the 21st Century. Within the space of less than three years (2008–2010), three of the “Big Six” conglomerated Hollywood majors shuttered five of their specialty film divisions, which had been members of a small cadre of companies that dominated the indepen…
Greek Film Noir
Investigates how film noir has been received, adapted and developed in Greece, from the 1940s to the present Traces the evolution of a scholarly neglected – in the Greek context – film genre; it introduces an original corpus of texts extending from the 1940s to the present Offers a panoramic overview of leading Greek auteur figures, from Nikos Koundouros and Tonia Marketaki to Theo Angelopoulos and Nikos Nikolaidis, viewing their work, for the fi…
Greek screen industries
This introductory article to the Special Issue ‘Greek Screen Industries’ of the Journal of Greek Media and Culture offers a critical overview of the recently emerging field of Media Industry Studies and situates existing work on Greek screen industries in its context. It argues that the current fragmentation and lack of dialogue between social sciences and arts and humanities approaches on the topic is particularly marked in the Greek context, a …
Conning all over the world
This essay examines the ways in which two ‘con game films’ produced in two Latin American countries, Nueve Reinas/Nine Queens (Fabián Bielinsky, Argentina, 2000) and Doble Juego/Con Game (Albert Durant, Peru, 2004), mobilize the discourse of corruption as the key structural principle of their generic composition. This discourse is constructed in each film as a national characteristic, a signifier of each nation’s complete and utter engulfment in …
Revisiting contemporary Greek film cultures
Between ‘indiewood’ and ‘nowherewood’
The article will argue that American independent cinema became increasingly polarized in the first decade of the twenty-first century. On the one hand, ‘indiewood’, a very particular iteration of independent film-making that, for some critics, comprises ‘features associated with dominant, mainstream conventions and markers of “distinction” designed to appeal to more particular niche-audience constituencies’, continued to be the most commercially …
American Independent Cinema in the Age of Convergence
Not Hollywood
It is not common for scholars specializing in one particular discipline to undertake long-term research projects in a seemingly unrelated one. Understanding the history of a field of study, becoming acquainted with its (often) vast literature, being trained in research methods that may be area-specific, and a host of other factors provide often insurmountable problems for a scholar wishing to engage with a new field. Thus this recent contribution…
