361 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 23 cm "'Revolution in 35mm' examines how political violence and resistance were represented in arthouse and cult films from 1960 to 1990. This period spans the Algerian war of independence and the early wave of postcolonial struggles that reshaped the Global South through the collapse of Soviet Communism in the 1980s. It focuses on films related to the rise of protest movements by students, workers, and leftist groups, as well as broader countercultural movements, Black Power, the rise of feminism, and beyond. The book also includes films that portrayed splinter groups that engaged in violent, urban guerrilla struggles throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Fourteen authors deliver a diverse examination of how filmmakers around the world reacted to the political violence and resistance movements of the period and how this was expressed on-screen. This includes looking at the production, distribution, and screening of these films, audience and critical reaction, the attempted censorship or suppression of much of this work, and how directors and producers eluded these restrictions"--Page 4 of cover.
