The New Scottish Cinema

From a near-standing start in the 1970s, the emergence and expansion of an aesthetically and culturally distinctive Scottish cinema proved to be one of the most significant developments within late-twentieth and early-twenty-first-century British film culture. Individual Scottish films and filmmakers have attracted notable amounts of critical attention as a result. The New Scottish Cinema is the first book to trace Scottish film culture's industrial, creative and critical evolution in comprehensive detail across a twenty-year period between 1990 and the early 2010s. It invites readers to reconsider the variety of present-day Scottish filmmaking - a body of work that encompasses explorations of multiculturalism, exploitation of the macabre and much else in between.
