North Africa: Cinema and Informal Economy 8. Historical Markets: The Age of Maturity 9. Film Boom in the Gulf Conclusion Notes References IndexReviewsThis book greatly expands our understanding of international film distribution. Motion picture distribution is difficult to document because the business records of film companies are not generally open to researchers, and the subject has therefore attracted relatively little academic attention. Mingant's case study, however, demonstrates a firm command of the complexities of the subject by buttressing extensive research in secondary sources with primary sources from major archives, documentation from trade and government publications, and interviews with film professionals, government officials, and journalists. It will become the definitive history of the subject. - Tino Balio, author of Hollywood in the New Millennium """This book greatly expands our understanding of international film distribution.
