Technically speaking, every film made outside of the Hollywood studio system can be described as world cinema. That’s every independent picture made in the US, and every feature ever made in every other country. That’s a lot of movies to collect under a single banner. Really though, when we talk about world cinema, we mean the good stuff. The important stuff. The stuff that made us think. From the silent days of Lang and Eisenstein to the French New Wave of Godard and Truffaut right through to the Spanish sex comedies of Pedro Almodovar and the modern horror masterpieces knocked out by the Japanese, World Cinema provides a welcome break from mainstream Hollywood entertainment.
