'Irish Cinema in the Twenty-First Century is aimed at an academic readership and, achieving impressive comprehensiveness in a compact package, it deserves to become a standard text on an exciting, still-developing period in Irish culture. There is useful material here on horror, Northern Ireland, animation and the continuing underrepresentation of women. Her decision to begin each chapter with analysis of a short film lends the book a satisfyingly eccentric structure.'Donald Clarke, Irish Times, August 2019'With the relative lack of published literature on the Irish film industry and its product, Barton's book is a most welcome and authoritative discourse on the subject.'Books Ireland, 'Irish Cinema in the Twenty-First Century is aimed at an academic readership and, achieving impressive comprehensiveness in a compact package, it deserves to become a standard text on an exciting, still-developing period in Irish culture.

Synopsis
Written by one of the leading scholars in the field, this book provides a detailed account of Irish cinema in the twenty-first century. It covers new areas in Irish film production such as the creative documentary, animation and horror, and revisits key themes including the representation of history, post-Troubles cinema and Northern Ireland, rural representations and the cinema of the city. The book is informed by theories of globalisation, the transnational, cultural trauma and spatiality. One of its key concerns is the question of gender representation, but it also looks at how the new social structures of Ireland, from the Celtic Tiger to today, are treated in the work of leading filmmakers such as Lenny Abrahamson, John Crowley, Neil Jordan, the McDonagh brothers and Jim Sheridan. Focusing on exemplary case studies, the book examines how high-profile films straddle both the local and the global industries. In addition, each chapter is preceded by the analysis of a short film. Irish cinema in the twenty-first century is an important contribution to debates on the possibility of a national cinema in the age of globalisation. It will appeal to students and lecturers in film studies and Irish studies, as welt as general readers interested in contemporary Irish cinema. Book jacket., This book provides an accessible, comprehensive discussion of how a small national cinema can remain relevant in the wider environment of globalisation. It includes chapters on the creative documentary, animation and the horror film, as well as Irish history on screen and the depiction of the countryside and the city., An accessible, comprehensive overview of contemporary Irish cinema, this book is intended for use as a third-level textbook and is designed to appeal to academics in the areas of film studies and Irish studies. Responding to changes in the Irish production environment, it includes chapters on new Irish genres such as creative documentary, animation and horror. It discusses shifting representations of the countryside and the city, always with a strong concern for gender representations, and looks at how Irish historical events, from the Civil War to the Troubles, and the treatment of the traumatic narrative of clerical sexual abuse have been portrayed in recent films. It covers works by established auteurs such as Neil Jordan and Jim Sheridan, as well as new arrivals, including the Academy Award-winning Lenny Abrahamson. -- ., An accessible, comprehensive overview of contemporary Irish cinema, this book is intended for use as a third-level textbook and is designed to appeal to academics in the areas of film studies and Irish studies.
