This is the first collection of original critical essays devoted to exploring the misunderstood, neglected and frequently caricatured role played by the film producer. The editors' introduction provides a conceptual and methodological overview, arguing that the producer's complex and multifaceted role is crucial to a film's success or failure. The collection is divided into three sections where detailed individual essays explore a broad range of contrasting producers working in different historical, geographical, generic and industrial contexts. Rather than suggest there is a single type of producer, the collection analyses the rich variety of roles producers play, providing fascinating and informative insights into how the film industry actually works. This groundbreaking collection challenges several of the conventional orthodoxies of film studies, providing a new approach that will become required reading for scholars and students.

The recent centenary of the motion picture prompted the Belgian Royal Film Archive to compile an encyclopedia of the history of Belgian film. The country has produced a considerable cinematic output over the past hundred years, with a total of some 1,500 titles, including every imaginable genre, from documentaries to war films, romantic dramas, slapstick, animation, art movies and experimental films. This book is published in collaboration with the Royal Film Archive. The book contains a broad survey of 100 years of Belgian cinema history, from masterpieces of silent filmmaking to recent highlights like the 1992 film Daens. This comprehensive, easy-to-use, and attractively illustrated reference work is an important scholarly addition to all serious film libraries.
