Writing
For this relatively free discussion forum, think of a film you have seen that illustrates one or more aspects of the transnational quality of the modern film industry.
Describe these aspects. Do they affect the aesthetic dimension of the film, and if so, how? Is Yomota correct that the presence of such elements make it hard or impossible to maintain nationally defined categories?
lternatively, could the very quality of transnationality be what what makes (for example) a commercial Hollywood film, most “American”?
Think about these and any other points that relate to the issue of cinematic transnationality and strike you as interesting.
