In 1999 the new National Film and Video Foundation was charged with fostering a vibrant, socially engaged, and self-sufficient film industry. What are the results of this effort to create a truly national cinematic enterprise? \u003ci\u003eProjecting Nation: South African Cinemas after 1994\u003c\/i\u003e answers that question by examining the ways in which national and transnational forces have shaped the representation of race and nation in feature-length narrative fiction films. Offering a systematic analysis of cinematic texts in the context of the South African film industry, author Cara Moyer-Duncan analyzes both well-known works like \u003ci\u003eDistrict 9\u003c\/i\u003e (2009) and neglected or understudied films like \u003ci\u003eMy Shit Father and My Lotto Ticket\u003c\/i\u003e (2008) to show how the ways filmmakers produce cinema and the ways diverse audiences experience it--whether they watch major releases in theaters in predominantly white suburban enclaves or straight-to-DVD productions in their own homes--are informed by South Africans' multiple experiences of nation in a globalizing world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cara Moyer-Duncan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1611863635\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611863635\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Michigan State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Cara Moyer-Duncan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48623284650239,"sku":"9781611863635","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/projecting-nation-cara-moyer-duncan-9781611863635","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
