Abstract
The ‘new’ in New Cinemas hopes to point to an unashamedly utopian direction, providing a platform not only for the study of new forms of cinematic practices and a new focus on cinemas hitherto neglected in Western scholarship, but also for new ways of configuring identities and issues of self and otherness through the cinematic apparatus, and a new, heightened consciousness of the constant need to break down the boundary and distinction between self and other even as one problematises them.
