Routledge - Film Policy in a Globalised Cultural Economy

Explore the complex changes within global film industries over the last twenty years. This Routledge publication examines how economic globalisation and rapid technological developments have reshaped the cinematic landscape. While Hollywood maintains a dominant position in the global market, its operations have become increasingly international to adapt to modern demands. This text looks at the rise of regional screen industries, specifically focusing on the development and re-emergence of film sectors in East Asia and the Indian subcontinent. It investigates how these regions have established new forms of collaboration to compete on a global scale. Additionally, the book addresses the impact of digital technologies. These advancements have fundamentally transformed both the content of films and the methods used to distribute and consume them. This is an essential resource for understanding the modern relationship between film, technology, and the global economy.
