Book Presentation:
European cinema not only occupies a dominant place in film history, it is also a field that has been raising more interest with the expanding work on the transnational. Euro-Visions asks what idea of Europe emerges, is represented and constructed by contemporary European film. Adopting a broad and wide-ranging approach, Euro-Visions mixes political sources, historical documents and filmic texts and offers an integration of policy and economic contexts with textual analysis. Mariana Liz examines costume dramas, biopics and war films, mainstream co-productions and tales of ‘Fortress Europe’ by renowned auteurs, showing how films from different European nations depict and contribute to the formation of the idea of Europe. Case studies include Girl with a Pearl Earring, La Vie en Rose, Black Book, Good Bye Lenin!, Match Point and The Silence of Lorna.

Press Reviews:
"Euro-Visions constitutes an important overview of the EU’s engagement in the transnational distribution of European film since its formation. It is especially useful for readers wanting to explore the role of European policy-making in the constitution of a transnational idea of Europe." - Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television
