Lure of the big screen : cinema in rural Australia and the United Kingdom - Aveyard, Karina (Bristol, UK : Intellect, 2015)
Explores contexts of film exhibition and consumption in rural parts of the UK and Australia, where film theaters are often highly valued as spaces around which isolated communities can gather and interact. Going beyond national borders to highlight transnational stratifications in the rural cinema sphere, this book examines how film theaters in areas of social and economic decline are sustained by resourceful individuals and sub-commercial operating structures.--Provided by publisher
