A superb collection of essays that rethinks the international meaning of recent Portuguese film and defines the theoretical stakes of studying and conceptualizing this small nations cinema, its fascinating film history and its innovative and provocative filmmakers.

Estela Vieira, Indiana University Bloomington

Addressing both auteurs and popular film, as well as matters of representation and of industry, this book the first of its kind in English illuminates and nuances key debates in the discipline, especially the rich dialogue between the national and the transnational.

Sally Faulkner, University of Exeter

A timely volume with a coherent theoretical framework that will appeal to film scholars and students with an interest in Portuguese filmmaking, but equally inform understandings of small national cinemas.

Lisa Shaw, University of Liverpool

The Tauris World CinemaSeries aims to reveal and celebrate the richness and complexity of film art across the globe, exploring a wide variety of cinemas set within their own cultures and as they interconnect in a global context. The books in the series will represent innovative scholarship, in tune with the multicultural character of contemporary audiences. Drawing upon an international authorship, they will challenge outdated conceptions of world cinema, and provide new ways of understanding a field at the centre of film studies in an era of transnational networks.
