About the Book

Production studies has developed into an interdisciplinary field of inquiry of film and television "production cultures," going beyond traditional examinations of authorship and industry structure. Studying production as culture involves gathering empirical data about the lived realities of people involved in media production - about collaboration and conflicts, routines and rituals, lay theories and performative actions. This volume broadens the scope of production studies by analyzing geographic and historical alternatives to contemporary Hollywood. At the same time, it invites disciplines such as ethnography, aesthetics, or sociology of art to reconsider established concepts of film and media studies like creative agency, genesis of a film work, or transnational production.

Review :
'A multi-national European contribution to the research of production studies is a welcome addition to the literature in this growing subfield, and Petr Szczepanik and Patrick Vonderau are just the two to bring it to fruition.' - Jennifer Holt, Associate Professor, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA "Behind the Screen explores the complex plays of power and imagination that shape the production of European film and television. Ranging widely, the authors provide revealing case examples of the diverse contexts in which screen media are conceived and produced. Shrewdly observant and conceptually sophisticated, these essays engage brilliantly with enduring debates about creative labor and cultural authority in modern societies." - Michael Curtin, Mellichamp Professor of Global Media Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA c "As cinema studies develops beyond obsessions with meaning and viewing, it is finally returning to the world of work - how are pictures made? This groundbreaking volume is a major contribution to a welcome tendency." - Toby Miller, University of California, Riverside, USAc
