DES PREMIERS FILMS Pathé aux écrans numériques, la marionnette a connu une vie filmique à éclipses, surgissant soudain et par éclats chez les plus grands, de Chaplin à Roberto Benigni, de Renoir et Bergman à Spielberg, Kitano et Tim Burton. Longtemps confinée dans l’animation, elle connaît aujourd’hui un spectaculaire retour sur les écrans du monde entier. Plus subversive que mélancolique, elle est cette créature double qui ne cesse de se libérer des liens qui l’assujettissent, dans le mutisme et l’humiliation, au Montreur ventriloque, au Père, au Deus/Diabolus ex machina. Elle est au cinéaste, à l’acteur, au spectateur ce que le Sphinx est à Œdipe : riche d’une vie sauvage, obscène, archaïque à laquelle il leur faut un temps se confronter. À travers ces corps de frontière en constantes mutations, les miroirs grossissants du cinéma nous renvoient les images libératrices d’une modernité en travail, entre retours à l’enfance, métamorphoses burlesques et passages vers d’inquiétantes ou sublimes étrangetés. Pour sortir de l’ombre la vie filmique des marionnettes, Laurence Schifano, Professeur d’Études cinématographiques à l’Université Paris 10, a rassemblé ici des historiens et des chercheurs dont les domaines de recherche se situent aux confins de la psychanalyse, de la littérature, du théâtre et du cinéma.

North African immigrants, once confined to France's social and cultural margins, have become a strong presence in France's national life. Similarly, descendants of immigrants from Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia have gained mainstream recognition as filmmakers and as the subject of films. The first collective volume on this topic, Screening Integration offers a sustained critical analysis of this cinema. In particular, contributors evaluate how Maghrebi films have come to participate in, promote, and, at the same time, critique France's integration. In the process, these essays reflect on the co

In Exception Taken, Jonathan Buchsbaum examines the movements that have emerged in opposition to the homogenizing force of Hollywood in global filmmaking. While European cinema was entering a steady decline in the 1980s, France sought to strengthen support for its film industry under the new Mitterrand government. Over the following decades, the country lobbied partners in the European Economic Community to design strategies to protect the audiovisual industries and to resist cultural free-trade pressures in international trade agreements. These struggles to preserve the autonomy of national artistic prerogatives emboldened many countries to question the benefits of accelerated globalization.Led by the energetic minister of culture Jack Lang, France initiated a series of measures to support all sectors of the film industry. Lang introduced laws mandating that state and private television invest in the film industry, effectively replacing the revenue lost from a shrinking theatrical audience for French films. With the formation of the European Union in 1992, Europe passed a new treaty (Maastricht) that extended its legal purview to culture for the first time, setting up the dramatic confrontation over the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs (GATT) in 1993. Pushed by France, the EU fought the United States over the idea that countries should preserve their right to regulate cultural activity as they saw fit. France and Canada then initiated a campaign to protect cultural diversity within UNESCO that led to the passage of the Convention on Cultural Diversity in 2005. As France pursued these efforts to protect cultural diversity beyond its borders, it also articulated "a certain idea of cinema" that did not simply defend a narrow vision of national cinema. France promoted both commercial cinema and art cinema, disproving announcements of the death of cinema.
