Product Description Explores the historical evolution of Belgian cinema as well as its contemporary situation within the evolving contexts of global media and European unity. Review a fine example of a nuanced, tentative approach to a marginalized cinema, with much to offer scholars interested in alternatives to Hollywoodcentred film studies. Canadian Journal of Film StudiesThis book provides an historical overview of Belgian cinema from its inception to the present, as well as analysis of important films. But more essentially, the author places Belgian cinema in an international context and establishes the polyglot, crossroads country as a nexus of influences and interrelations. Mosleys analysis of the cultural/linguistic schisms within Belgium that led to allegiances with France, Holland, and Germany becomes the basis for scrutiny of Belgiums cultural role in the European Union and a transactional European film industry in its incipient stages. Donald Flanell Friedman, author of Anthology of Belgian Symbolist Poets.Split Screen provides new information on a topic already coming to the forefront of cinema studies. Mosley's knowledge of the area and breadth of scholarship is exemplary. Tony Williams, author of Structures of Desire: British Cinema, 19391955 About the Author Philip Mosley is Associate Professor of English, Communications, and Comparative Literature at Pennsylvania State UniversityWorthington Scranton.
