European Film Remakes

Eduard Cuelenaere is a Postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Communication Sciences at Ghent University, Belgium. Gertjan Willems is assistant professor at the University of Antwerp, in the departments of Literature and Communication Sciences, and a Postdoctoral Fellow of the Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO) at Ghent University Stijn Joye is an associate professor at the Department of Communication Sciences at Ghent University, Belgium

In this exciting new volume Cuelenaere, Willems and Joye bring together established names in the field of remake studies and a number of bright new voices. The result is a rich and diverse collection of essays written from multiple perspectives. Moving away from the established tendency to focus on the Hollywood remake and building upon a growing body of literature on its European counterparts, the collection provides fresh and invigorating new thinking on the European film industries while simultaneously adding important insights to the theorisation of remakes, adaptations and transnational cinema more widely.
