Studies in French Cinema by Will Higbee

Studies in French Cinema by Will Higbee

Looks at the development of French screen studies in the UK over the past twenty years and the ways in which innovative scholarship has helped shape the field in English- and French-speaking universities. Also a tribute to six key figures within the field: Jill Forbes, Susan Hayward, Phil Powrie, Keith Reader, Carrie Tarr and Ginette Vincendeau.

We find, here, an overview of French cinema from the 1930s to the early twenty-first century that offers a complex and multilayered vision of its field of study, which draws on questions of gender, nation, sexuality, community, and identityInevitably, while each of these articles raises fundamental questions that remain relevant to those researching and teaching French Film studies, the dialogue that emerges through the inclusion of the six pieces together is particularly thought provoking.
