This volume examines the challenges which cinemas in small European countries have faced since 1989. It explores how notions of scale and 'small cinemas' relate to questions of territory, transnational media flows and globalization. Employing a variety of approaches from industry analysis to Deleuze & Guattari's concept of the 'minor', contributions address the relationship of small cinemas to Hollywood, the role of history and memory, and the politics of place in post-Socialist cinemas.
