The history of Greek cinema is a rather obscure and unexamined affair. Greek cinema started slowly and then collapsed; for several years it struggled to reinvent itself, produced its first mature works, then collapsed completely and almost vanished. This book presents a survey of Greek cinema from its very beginning (1905) until today (2010). A History of Greek Cinema is a long-anticipated book in the area of Greek film studies, which fills a significant void?an ambitious publication, which would be warmly welcomed by film scholars as an essential and indepensable reading on Greek film studies. It could also serve as a valuable textbook for film students, as it comprises a fundamental and promising work, which would further enrich international literature on the field of Greek film studies.
