Explores how the topic of 'youth' has inspired Francophone filmmakers to explore and reinvent common tropes associated with young peopleYouth has been represented on screen for decades and has informed many directors’ visual, narrative and social perspectives, but there has not been a body of work addressing the richness and complexity of this topic in a French and Francophone context. This volume offers new insights into the works of emerging and well-established directors alike, who all chose to place youth at the heart of their narrative and aesthetic concerns. Showing how the topic of ‘youth’ has inspired filmmakers to explore and reinvent common tropes associated with young people, the book also addresses how the representation of youth can be used to mirror the tensions – political, social, religious, economic or cultural – that agitate a society at a given time in its history.Key featuresDeals with contemporary issues such as LGBTQ identities, terrorism or social tensions and inequities in French and Francophone societiesPresents significant filmmakers whose work has rarely been discussed in an academic settingIntroduces the works of emerging directors and/or prominent directors from Francophone countriesGathers academics from different fields, offering a multi-faceted approach to the topic of youth in filmContributorsKarine Chevalier, University of Roehampton, LondonJuliette Feyel, University of Paris-NanterreFiona Handyside, University of ExeterMaria Flood, Keele UniversityAubrey Korneta, Sarah Lawrence College Kathryn Chaffee, University of California, Los AngelesBen McCann, University of AdelaideEricka Knudson, Harvard UniversityGemma Edney, University of ExeterElizabeth Geary Keohane, University of GlasgowJocelyn Wright, University of Texas - AustinWalter S.
