Split Screen

Sinopse

"In presenting the first English language study of Belgian cinema, Split Screen explores the fascinating history of a cinema largely determined by linguistic division and beset by problems of cultural identity. In surveying the evolution of Belgian cinema from its beginnings to the present day, Philip Mosley locates all the major features films, describes the crucial intervention of the state in film production, and reveals undervalued Belgian traditions in documentary, in animation, in short films, and in a colonial cinema created partly by missionaries in the former Belgian Congo."--BOOK JACKET.
