ABSTRACT

Transnationalism is a recent paradigm in film studies that has emerged in the context of cultural globalization (cf. Ezra and Rowden 2006; Ďurovičová and Newman 2010). Its main concern has been with film cultures beyond Euro-American hegemony, but for this very reason, it is a central challenge of the transnational turn to factor European and U.S. film into the problematics of “world cinema” (Ezra and Rowden 2006, 2).
