Letter from the team

In 2020, we’re delighted to be growing our platinum open access book series – Visionaries: Thinking Through Female Filmmakers – with the publication of Kathleen Collins: The Black Essai Film by Geetha Ramanathan (pp. 5) which examines Collins's influence on African American woman filmmakers. Sliding onto shelves in May, William Brown and David Fleming bring us The Squid Cinema from Hell: Kinoteuthis Infernalis and the Emergence of Chthulumedia, a philosophical study of cephalopods in cinema and contemporary media (pp. 6). Our new series, Global Film Studios, examines international film studios and their global influence. First to publish in the series is Vivian Lee’s The Other Side of Glamour (pp. 25) which studies the historical development of the left-wing film establishment in Hong Kong. Our Traditions in World Cinema series (split across the European and World & Transnational sections) sees new publications New : Contemporary British Cinema (pp. 32) and Nordic Film Cultures and Cinemas of Elsewhere (pp. 49) join the series. If you're working on a project, we'd love to hear from you. Visit our new author hub edinburghuniversitypress.com/publish-with-us to find out how to submit your proposal. PS look out for a host of new books in our twin series, Refocus: The American Directors Series and Refocus: The International Directors Series (pp. 17–21)!

Film Studies 5 FILM-PHILOSOPHY & FILM THEORY The Squid Cinema From Hell Kinoteuthis Infernalis and the Emergence of Chthulumedia William Brown, University of Roehampton and David H. Fleming, University of Stirling A philosophical study of cephalopods in cinema and contemporary media Here be Kraken! The Squid Cinema From Hell draws upon writers like Vilém Flusser, Donna J. Haraway, Graham Harman and Eugene Thacker to offer up a critical analysis of cephalopods and other tentacular creatures in contemporary media, while also speculating that digital media might themselves constitute a weird, intelligent alien. If this were not enough to shiver ye timbers, the book engages with contemporary discourses of posthumanism, speculative realism, object-oriented ontology and animal studies to suggest that humans are the products of media rather than media being the products of humans.

Global Film Studios is a series of books devoted to examining international film studios and their global influence. Each volume addresses several studios representing an era, a regional intersection of production, a national cinema, a genre or a style.

The series offers interdisciplinary interpretations of international film studios.articular P attention is paid to the signature features of these studios, such as their distinctive style, look, design and genres, as well as principal figures who created and sustained those definable studio elements. Technological advancements and innovations associated with or promoted by studios are also examined. Additionally, these volumes address studios’ market strategies, their core competencies and core rigidities, and their reliance upon and shifts from film cycles in terms of re-evaluating box office and audience appeal. Detailed analyses of specific film productions that transformed studios conclude each volume. Because of its multifaceted analysis and international scope, this series intends to open up the field of global studiography.
