Transnational Cinematography Studies introduces new perspectives to the discipline of film and media studies. First, this volume focuses on a crucial yet largely unexplored area in film and media studies: the substantial communication between critical studies of cinema and film production practices. This book integrates theories and practices of cinematographic technology. Secondly, Transnational Cinematography Studies expands the scope of film and media studies into the arena of transnationalism. Cinema is now discussed in terms of globalization of audio-visual cultures, with regard to such issues as Hollywood film studios’ so-called “runaway productions” and multi-national co-productions; Hollywood remakes of Asian horror films or Hong-Kong martial arts films; and the growing significance of international film festivals. However, this volume proposes that globalization is not in itself new in the history of cinema, and that cinema has always been at the forefront of transnational culture from the beginning of its history.

This book demonstrates with its specific analysis about several aspects of the art of cinematography . . . that the cinematographer can no longer be defined as a ‘skilled technician’ with some ‘aesthetic ambitions’ but that the cinematographer is fully and completely an artist. . . .This book can be and it will be another step forward in this decisive clarification.
Luciano Tovoli, AIC ASC IMAGO
Transnational Cinematography Studies leads you on a voyage of discovery of the craft. It looks at the philosophy, the practicality, and the past influences forming the present and the future. It studies the creative processes that make cinema the most compelling art form.
Remi Adefarasin, OBE, BSC
I'm very happy to finally see a book which takes into account the actual problems we all are confronted with and has a clear look not only toward aesthetic consequences but also to the impact drastically concerning our working methods on the set. . . . Can't wait to have this book in my hands!
Christian Berger, cinematographer
