With chapters on polar explorer films, silent cinema, documentaries, ethnographic and indigenous film, gender and ecology, as well as Hollywood and the USSR's uses and abuses of the Arctic, this book provides a groundbreaking account of Arctic cinemas from 1898 to the present. Challenging dominant notions of the region in popular and political culture, it demonstrates how moving images (cinema, television, video, and digital media) have been central to the very definition of the Arctic since the end of the nineteenth century. Bringing together an international array of European, Russian, Nordic, and North American scholars, \u003cem\u003eFilms on Ice\u003c\/em\u003e radically alters stereotypical views of the Arctic region, and therefore of film history itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Scott MacKenzie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474409016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474409018\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 11\/17\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Scott MacKenzie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985688527103,"sku":"9781474409018","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9fa19884-c653-4f92-ab49-9d70bb54cc52.jpg?v=1683278982","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/films-on-ice-scott-mackenzie-9781474409018","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
