Parallels and distinctions are drawn between governmental film regulation policies in these countries and social control mechanisms at work within a wider network of institutions, including news media, film festivals, and advocacy groups. The study examines the means by, and ends to, which the social control of film content persists in the \"post-censorship\" media landscape of Britain, Canada, Australia, and the United States, and how concepts of film \"classification\" manifest in commercial market contexts, journalistic criticism, and practices of distribution and advertising.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Sacco\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474482392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474482394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.46d","brand":"Daniel Sacco","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48436667515135,"sku":"9781474482394","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f610d717-d1b6-4392-87e5-01d6b851d414.jpg?v=1777157256","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/film-regulation-in-a-cultural-daniel-sacco-9781474482394","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
