The Extreme Cinema of Eastern Europe examines extreme, transgressive cinema which developed following a post-2000 wave in filmmaking that aestheticised violence on audio-visual, narrative and thematic levels. Batori investigates the ways in which contemporary national trends from within Eastern Europe correspond to the global stream of transgressive filmmaking and shock aesthetics that have become the dominant markers of world cinema. Do these art productions intend to reveal and criticise aggressions in domestic landscapes or are they part of a contemporary global visual discourse? With a specific focus on gender, this book highlights both nation-specific features of these films and their relationship to global extreme art films.

Reviews for The Extreme Cinema of Eastern Europe: Rape, Art, (S)Exploitation

""In this unparalleled and timely contribution to studies of East European cinema, Batori brings an interdisciplinary analysis to films that range from the Yugoslav Black Wave to contemporary examples of extreme cinema in which gendered representations of violence, torture and rape are symbolic of the region's own troubled relationship to its histories."" -Aniko Imre, University of Southern California
