Introduction

This Handbook offers new and previously unexplored comparative approaches to the field of New Cinema History. The volume brings together contributions focusing on historical and contemporary comparative case studies of cinema-going practices, cinema distribution, exhibition, and reception from a global perspective. Engaging with a wealth of empirical and archive-based sources, the volume explores a wide range of methodological and theoretical approaches. This Handbook is a key addition to debates on the relationship between film industry and cinema-going practices across different political and cultural geographical dimensions.
