Cinema, ideology, and environmental change

This edited volume examines Eastern European cinema through the region’s changing relationship with the environment, from socialist-industrial landscapes to ecological concerns under capitalism. It brings film studies into conversation with environmental studies, using eco-critical theory to consider how cinema in the former Soviet bloc addressed ecological damage and modernization. The post-1989 perspective also connects environmental filmmaking to broader transitions, including privatization and the destruction of shared resources. Together, these subjects place film within the political and economic changes that reshaped the region.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Eastern European cinema and its political context
  • Those exploring environmental themes through film studies
  • Students of post-socialist transitions, privatization, and shared resources
