Hollywood has a complex relationship
with local markets around the world. This critical yet accessible overview of
Hollywood's local presence investigates the dynamic between the studios' film
entertainment divisions and individual media markets – exploring how their
position, partnerships and practices function in an era characterised by
globalisation, digitisation and convergence.
Engaging with key scholarly and industrial
debates, the book incorporates first-hand accounts gathered from extensive
fieldwork and research. It addresses a wide range of international operations,
from creative partnerships and production strategies to promotional and
distribution processes. With a particular focus on Europe and Latin America,
the text interrogates earlier notions of a 'global Hollywood' and
globalisation, where media conglomerates were viewed as economically rational
or all-powerful organisations. By exploring how decision-making processes and
creative negotiations between Hollywood media executives and local forces
operate, it reveals the complex picture of filmmaking and circulation in
today's supposedly globalised and digitised societies.
