Tijana Mamula teaches film studies at John Cabot University in Rome, Italy. She is the author of Cinema and Language Loss: Displacement, Visuality and the Filmic Image (2013). Lisa Patti is an Assistant Professor in the Media and Society Program at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, USA. She is the co-author of Film Studies: A Global Introduction (2015).

As earlier with sound, the study of linguistic difference in cinema is gradually emerging from the shadows of Anglophony and into film theory's spotlight. The Multilingual Screen will be among the volumes instrumental for this turn. Conceptually original, genuinely plurilingual in its reach and research, catholic in its methods, the volume maps not only the terrain of languages as such but, more surprisingly, the tectonic force of split-language-consciousness on cinematic forms.
