This is the first collection dedicated to examining the intersection of sport, film and national culture. Covering films of all types, from Hollywood blockbusters to regional documentaries and newsreels, /Sport, Film, and National Culture/considers how filmic depictions of sport have configured and informed a wide range of distinctive national cultures societies and identities. Featuring case studies from eleven national contexts across six continents – including North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania – it reveals the common and contrasting approaches that have emerged within sport cinema in differing national contexts.
