At the intersection of global and feminist film studies and decolonial perspectives, this book reframes cinema history through a decentred lens. Drawing on partial and situated knowledges, it challenges canonical narratives and interrogates how archival and textual regimes have shaped historiography from positions of privilege. Bringing together case studies from Latin America, Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, it reveals asymmetrical transnational circuits, situated reception practices and the material infrastructures of film circulation.Through a bold feminist and decolonial framework, the collection examines how colonial and imperial power relations structure film cultures. It shifts attention from singular authorship toward non-commercial exhibition, itinerant practices and vernacular spectatorship — including set design, audience memory, fandom, and situated voices that shaped film fan magazines. The chapters map how political and cultural agents shape production, circulation and reception across global cinema networks.

Women in Irish Cinema: Identity and Autonomy on the Contemporary Screen is the first book-length study focused specifically on cinematic representations of women in contemporary Ireland.This work centres on representations of women in Irish cinema since the beginning of the twenty-first century, from 2000 to 2025, amid vast sociopolitical change and the momentousness of the national milestones, drawbacks, and crises that have ensued: boom-and-bust socioeconomic contexts; major constitutional referenda involving sexuality and reproductive rights; a national process of confronting historical, gendered abuses; the post-Troubles era in Northern Ireland; long-overdue policy changes regarding diversity within the screen industries; an epidemic of gender-based violence; and ongoing state failings in relation to the fundamental human necessity of “home”.Through a feminist lens, this book highlights a diversity of female representations within cinematic responses to these changes. It critically engages with troubling or regressive depictions of women, honours the work of a selection of women in Irish film, and celebrates moments that can be interpreted as feminist and progressive in the contexts of ongoing systemic problems and gender disparities, in cinema and in society.
