Film Policy is the first comprehensive overview of the workings of the international film
industry. The authors examine film cultures and film policy across the world, explaining
why Hollywood cinema dominates the global film market, and the effects of the rise of
television and video on the international industry. In a series of case studies drawn from
North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia and Australia, the authors explore the
relationship between Hollywood cinema product and national film cultures, and trace the
development of international and national film polices, looking at issues of financing,
regulation, protectionism and censorship.
