Cinema in the Cold War (eBook, ePUB)

Political Projections
Redaktion: Buffet, Cyril

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The film industry was an important propaganda element during the Cold War. Throughout the conflict, cinema was reflected the societies, the ideologies, and the political climates in which the films were made. The cinema was a place of confrontation and rivalry, yet there were aesthetic, technical, narrative exchanges between West and East. This book looks at contributions to Cold War cinema from a wide range of countries and genres, and articulates how all participants in the Cold War utilised the film industry as a tool for propaganda, and how the Cold War itself shaped both the creative and the critical output of the period. This book was published as a special issue of Cold War History.
