After the fall of the iron curtain, most of the post-socialist screen industries of Eastern Europe needed to come to terms with new cultural developments and geopolitical reorganisation, leading to prolonged searches for new approaches to privatisation, funding, and legal support (and not just simply reorganising along western lines). This volume was inspired by the need better to interrogate such processes and con-cepts of transformation at the level of screen aesthetics and their indus-trial contexts. It focuses primarily on the relationships between system-ic institutional, legislative, and technological developments within the individual post-socialist countries of Central and South-East Europe, on the one hand, and, on the other, the regimes of content, distribution of meanings, and values specific to their national industries.
