".a solid survey of Croatian film production, its specificities in relation to its past association with Yugoslav cinema, as well as its uncertain future. a useful reference work that can be broadly used by specialists and students alike, as well as anyone interested in the history of Croatian film." · Slavic and East European Journal "In this first comprehensive anthology, profiles of major films and conversations with prominent directors draw on the political history of this fascinating multi-ethnic region, but no film or filmmaker is reduced to its pressures. The perfect guide to a barely-known world." · Caryl Emerson, Princeton University "The collection of articles, interviews and reviews presented here by Aida Vidan and Gordana P. Crnkovic offers an excellent insight into the affairs of contemporary cinema in Croatia.the articles cover a range of media, from animation to feature and documentary, whilst covering a variety of different themes--gender, national identity, industry.
The review section is maybe one of the most diversified, both in terms of the selection of contributors and films that has been published in English. The editors have energetically and bravely mastered a tall order and compiled an excellent collection that could become a textbook for teaching Croatian cinema." · Birgit Beumers, University of Bristol.
