4.9/5 (32342 ratings)

Description:For a relatively small country, Ireland has an impressively large and dynamic film industry. This might very well not be the case, however, had it not been for the efforts of countless actors, directors,entrepreneurs, and—more recently—politicians. There has always been an Irish passion for cinema (as there has been a passion for literature and theater), but the recent expansion might not have happened had the state not intervened to make Ireland an attractive and lucrative production location. The result has been not only more but often better films, and a shift from provincial subjects to those that are more universal in nature and thus able to attract larger box-office receipts and foreign audiences. This progression in Irish cinema is related first in a chronology and introduction, which trace over a century of history; a dictionary, with several hundred entries on the pioneers and current leaders in the industry, actors and directors, authors, distributors and exhibitors, schools and arts centers, government bodies and legislation, and above all the films and recurrent themes; and a bibliography, to enable interested readers to further explore any areas of particular interest. This Historical Dictionary of Irish Cinema is an excellent place to start and to come back to periodically for further information.Patrick (Pat) Brereton and Roderick (Roddy) Flynn are two specialists on Irish cinema who were born and educated largely in Ireland. At present, both are employed by the Dublin City University’s School of Communications, where Dr. Brereton is a lecturer in film and media studies and chair of the bachelor’s program in multimedia, and Dr. Flynn is a lecturer and chair of the master’s program in film and television. Both have written extensively not only on Irish cinema but also on cinema more broadly. A reference book like this was a new venture for them, but they have achieved a wonderful result — a useful tool for their students and others, both at home and abroad.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
