"La representación de la mujer en el cine de Colombia ha tendido a estar asociada a nociones de sumisión, victimización o sexualización, sugiriendo una cierta uniformidad, invisibilidad y repetición acerca de su existencia social y cinematográfica. A pesar de esta complejidad cultural e histó

rica, existe una serie de producciones colombianas hechas en el nuevo milenio que trascienden los sesgos de género patriarcales y las dicotomías morales sobre la mujer en la pantalla grande. Teniendo en cuenta la sanción de la Ley de Cine 814 de 2003, la cual ha tenido un impacto positivo en el sector cinematográfico colombiano, este libro propone examinar de forma inédita, conjunta y crítica, diversas maneras en que las mujeres son representadas en un grupo de películas de ficción colombianas del siglo XXI. Bajo un prisma interdisciplinario de estudios de cine, feministas, poscoloniales y subalternos, este trabajo ofrece un enfoque temático y un análisis textual de un total de doce películas en el que se analizan imágenes de la mujer en el cine de Colombia, reconociendo sus raíces en las normas que ha establecido el patriarcado, y sus eventuales transgresiones. De este modo, este libro explora e invita a celebrar representaciones diversas y emergentes de la mujer entendiendo el silencio y la sumisión como factores subversivos, los tipos de emancipación de la mujer dentro de grupos al margen de la ley, y la sexualidad y el deseo de las mujeres como agentes de cambio al hablar de la feminidad. Esta obra argumenta que la Ley de Cine creó un espacio para que los y las cineastas representaran los límites de las normas de género hegemónicas en la sociedad colombiana y los esfuerzos que se vienen haciendo para desafiarlas a través de su cine."

"In one of the first cultural acts to follow independence in 1975, Frelimo's new socialist government of Mozambique set up a National Institute of Cinema (the INC). In a country where many people had little previous experience of cinema, the INC was tasked to "deliver to the people an image of the p

eople". This book explores how this unique culture of revolutionary filmmaking began during the armed struggle against Portuguese colonialism. Following independence, the INC began the task of decolonising the film industry, building on networks of solidarity with other socialist and non-aligned struggles. Mozambique became an epicentre for militant filmmakers from around the world and cinema played an essential role in building the new nation. Crucially, the book examines how filmmaking became a resource for resistance against Apartheid as the Cold War played out across Southern Africa during the late 1970s and 1980s. Drawing on detailed film analysis, production histories and testimonies of key participants, Cinemas of the Mozambican Revolution provides a compelling account of this radical experiment in harnessing cinema to social change."

She addresses production, exhibition, and distribution contexts and financing and co-production with Europe and the United States, as well as the role of film festivals in funding and circulating films both within and outside of Latin America. Newer trends such as the revival of protectionist measures like the screen quota are framed in contrast to the U.S.'s push for trade policy liberalization and issues of universal concern such as film piracy, and new technologies and the role of television in helping and hindering Latin American cinema."

"In total, a yearly average of EUR 2.53 billion went to the 214 funds in a sample including 33 countries (Albania and Russia could not be tracked for this indicator) between 2010 and 2014 (a proportioned average of 196.2 funds a year, since not all the funds tracked existed over the entire period).

The three main sources of income in Europe at the national and sub-national levels combined were contributions from the national/federal government (32%) followed by levies on broadcasters (31%) and contributions from regional government (13%). However, when outlying France is excluded from the calculation, the breakdown of the share of income by type of source is much more representative of the reality at the pan-European level, with contributions from the national or federal governments accounting for 53% of the total available resources. Taxes and levies reflected a steady downward trend in 2011, barely compensated until 2013 by the contributions from the national/federal governments and the surge in contributions from sub-national (regional, community and local) governments. Moreover, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Spain and Switzerland were the countries in which sub-national funds accounted for a larger share of the total income." (Executive summary, page 11)
