Global Film Policies challenges conventional analyses of film policy as a stand-alone public policy confined within national boundaries, and usually focused on supports for film production. The book argues for a more multi-faceted approach, extending beyond national boundaries, and broadening its scope to recognise how other forms of policy pertain to film, including tax, labour, language, and education.

A team of experts in various areas of film and media studies critically analyse specific areas of film policy and engage with other public policy programmes, related concepts and/or phenomena. Each chapter brings together a general discussion of the conceptual and critical issues at stake, with specific references to particular territorial or historical contexts, institutions and policy initiatives that illuminate the more general issues. Case studies from different continents illustrate how film-related policies work with other public policies to maintain their influence not just on the film sector but also society more generally.

This book will be an important resource for scholars and students studying global film policy in the areas of film, media or creative industries, and business.
