The global film industry has witnessed significant transformations in the past few years. Regions outside the USA have begun to prosper while non-traditional production companies such as Netflix have assumed a larger market share and online movies adapted from literature have continued to gain in popularity. How have these trends shaped the global film industry? This book answers this question by analyzing an increasingly globalized business through a global lens. Development of the Global Film Industry examines the recent history and current state of the business in all parts of the world. While many existing studies focus on the internal workings of the industry, such as production, distribution and screening, this study takes a "big picture" view, encompassing the transnational integration of the cultural and entertainment industry as a whole, and pays more attention to the coordinated development of the film industry in the light of influence from literature, television, animation, games and other sectors. This volume is a critical reference for students, scholars and the public to help them understand the major trends facing the global film industry in today’s world.
This book provides an up-to-date, in-depth survey of 21st-century Spanish horror film and media, exploring both aesthetics and industrial dynamics. It offers detailed analysis of contemporary films and TV series as well as novel approaches to key works within the history of Spanish cinema. While addressing the specificities of the Spanish landscape, this volume also situates the national cinematic output within the international arena, understanding film production and reception as continuously changing processes in which a variety of economic, social and cultural factors intervene. The book first analyzes the main horror trends emerging in the early 2000s, then approaches genre hybridization and the rise of new filmmakers since the 2010s with a special focus on gender issues and the reconfiguration of the past, before addressing the impact of streaming services within the Spanish film panorama, from a production and distribution standpoint. This book will be of keen interest to scholars and students in the areas of film studies, media studies, TV studies, horror, Spanish cultural studies and production studies.

Preface I was born in Manila on April 10, 1924. That makes me 93 years of age today in 2017, old enough to meet and talk to every President that has ever been elected to lead our country. There were 16 of them all in all, Emilio Aguinaldo of the First Republic; Jose P. Laurel of the Japanese Puppet Republic; Manuel L. Quezon and Sergio Osme�a, of the Philippine Commonwealth; and 12 from the Second Republic: Manuel A. Roxas, Elpidio Quirino, Ramon Magsaysay, Carlos P. Garcia, Diosdado Macapagal, Ferdinand Marcos, Corazon Cojuangco Aquino, Fidel V. Ramos, Erap Estrada, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, Benigno Aquino III, and Rodrigo A. Duterte. Count them, an even dozen. My greatest adventure was of the mind, when I was ten years old and in Grade Three. I participated in an IQ test taken by the Secretary of Public Instruction and all teachers and school supervisors and students in the Philippines. And was told by Secretary Joseph Hayden himself that I was the brightest in the land, with an IQ of 170, like that of Albert Einstein. My grandfather Don Daniel Maramba who became a Senator, was so proud of me he volunteered to buy all the books I wanted. The first I bought was a 20-volume set of the Book of Knowledge, which I read in 20 days and got myself a college education at the age of ten. From the age of 10 to 80, I read one book every day, a total of 25,500 books a day till I was 80 years old, lived the lives and imbibed the thoughts of the greatest minds of the 20th century. After World War II, I enrolled as a student in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the best engineering (CONT. INSIDE)TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Preface 01 World Figures 1. Albert Einstein 02 2.
