The 2024 Bloomsbury and Faber Screenplays and Criticism Annual Update is now live on Screen Studies.
Highlights of the update include:
- Succession Season 1 – The Complete Scripts: The complete, authorized Season 1 scripts of the Emmy, Golden Globe, BAFTA, and Grammy award winning series including an exclusive introduction from creator Jesse Armstrong.
- Globalized Queerness: Has a global queer popular culture emerged at the expense of local queer artists? In this book, Helton Levy argues that global queer culture is indebted to specific, local references that artists carry from their early experiences in life, which then become homogenized by contemporary media markets.
- The Bloomsbury Handbook to Sofia Coppola: The first comprehensive overview of the director’s impressive oeuvre. While focused on her films, contributors also consider Coppola’s distinct signature style: cinematography, production/costume design, music, and editing.
- Ukrainian Cinema: Belonging and Identity during the Soviet Thaw: The first concentrated study of Ukrainian cinema in English. Historian Joshua First explores the politics and aesthetics of Ukrainian Poetic Cinema during the Soviet 1960s-70s.
- Cinema in the Arab World: New Histories, New Approaches: This innovative new volume shifts the focus on Arab cinema off-screen, to examine the histories, politics, and conditions of distribution, exhibition, and cinema-going in the Arab world.
