The Biopic in Contemporary Film Culture by Tom Brown

The Biopic in Contemporary Film Culture by Tom Brown

The biographical film - or 'biopic' - is a popular genre and a staple of film production in all major film industries around the world. However, its aesthetic and cultural significance has remained underexplored. 'The Biopic in Contemporary Film Culture' addresses this gap in film scholarship by looking at the 'life' of the biopic internationally.

Belén Vidal is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Film Studies at King’s College London. She is the author of Figuring the Past: Period Film and the Mannerist Aesthetic and The Heritage Film: Nation, Genre, and Representation. She is the co-editor of Cinema at the Periphery.
