"What is a Film Artist Anyway?"

The new issue of Alphaville: Journal of Film and Screen Media is now available online https://doi.org/10.33178/alpha.22
 
Developing from the Detecting Transcultural Identity in European Popular Crime Narratives (DETECt) project and edited by Stefano Baschiera, this twenty-second issue of Alphaville investigates the genrefication of contemporary European crime cinema when it crosses national borders. Through a media industries approach, the contributions in this issue place theatrical distribution at the centre of genre analysis, and address thematic and productive features as well as the changing cultural capital of crime cinema productions.
 
Happy open-access reading!
