Film Festivals: From European Geopolitics to Global Cinephilia (Film Culture in Transition) Paperback – July 15, 2008

by Marijke de Valck (Author)

The film festival has come a long way from its relatively humble origins in Venice in 1932—when nine nations presented twenty-five feature films screened in an open-air cinema where men had to adhere to standards of formal evening attire. Hugely popular events that attract diverse lovers of cinema worldwide, today’s most famous film festivals—Cannes, Berlin, Venice, and Rotterdam—continue the story of a phenomenon that began in the midst of geopolitical disputes in war-torn Europe. Film Festivals shows how these festivals turned impediments into advantages and developed a successful global network that addresses issues as diverse as programming and prizes, national legitimation, city marketing, cinephilia, glamour, and audience. Discussing the festival as a media event and looking closer at various festival visitors, this volume also questions whether “successful” is in fact the appropriate term for understanding developments that could be considered dogmatic in their insistence on framing filmmakers as auteurs and films as belonging to “new waves.” An essential title for everyone interested in the culture, politics, and history that surround the celebration of cinema, Film Festivals proves that the movies are still our greatest—and most fêted—escape

    I am about halfway in this book, which is really interesting. It portrays the context in which film festivals were created and how they have developed. To make some points, the author uses the ANT approach (Latour mostly), but as she explains, for other points this is not the adequate approach. The book delves into the film festival phenomenon in the light of History, politics, the development of society, its revolutions, and technology.
