This book provides useful guidance on how filmmaking can be de-risked by using new forms of financing instead of the well-trodden paths of traditional funding. The author will present the results of a study of the opportunities for cinema funding and its related policies in Bulgaria and Spain. She makes a comparative analysis of cinema politics in Bulgaria and Spain. She finishes with general conclusions and recommendations - prospects for further development.

Chick flicks. Brokeback Mountain. Bollywood. Superhero movies. Sophie's Choice. Sandra Bullock. Avant-garde musicals... If this sort of stuff is your cup of tea, then this isn't the book for you. Blokey film enthusiast Dave Franklin instead concentrates on the politically incorrect delights of Coffy, Magnum Force and Boogie Nights while paying tribute to the likes of Christopher Walken, Paul Schrader, 70's disaster movies and Brian De Palma. There's even some tongue-in-cheek appreciation of the God-like Steven Seagal. So settle back, forget about identity politics and the prevailing lefty narrative, and immerse yourself in a book that values celluloid entertainment above all else. Or as Rob Reiner says at the start of the immortal Spinal Tap: "Enough of my yakking. Let's boogie."

If the 1980s had been the decade that had brought festive cinema out of its wilderness period and back into the public consciousness as never before, the 1990s would continue to reinvigorate the genre while also returning with fresh purpose to the central themes of its post-war Golden Age. The result would be a mixture of originality and traditionalism which was to prove successful at the box-office as well as reinforcing the relevance of the Christmas movie amongst critics and commentators.From the author of "The Golden Age of Christmas Movies" and "A Righteously Awesome Eighties Christmas", this book explores some of the most prominent festive films of the nineties - as well as discussing some of the decade's more unusual yuletide features. Moving from madcap comedies to family dramas, by way of many other subgenres in-between, the topics which arose throughout the Christmas cinema of the decade are considered along with some unexpected movie facts.The 1990s marked a period of lightning-fast technological development and substantial cultural change, which had wide-ranging effects on the world of cinema. "A Totally Bodacious Nineties Christmas" will take you on a journey through the festive movies of this tempestuous era, blending nostalgia for the nineties with an examination of how that decade's films had a major impact on the genre which persists even to the present day.
