Released through Edinburgh University Press, <a href=\"https:\/\/edinburghuniversitypress.com\/book-film-hot-war-traces-and-cold-war-spaces.html\"><em>Film, Hot War Traces and Cold War Spaces<\/em><\/a>, explores how films can fundamentally affect how we interpret war and conflict events and locations.<\/p>\n<p>Building on Cinquegrani&#8217;s previous work<em>, <\/em>this new volume transports the reader through time and space to eight key locations and conflict events between <span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">1919 to 1991. For each example, Cinquegrani explores the ways in which film engages with historical events and their impact on present-day landscapes. Events and locations from both the Hot War and the Cold War are subject to the book&#8217;s analysis, including Hiroshima and Olympiapark, Munich.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">The work offers a unique approach, comparing archival footage and documentaries with fictional dramatisations set in the same place with similar themes and messages. How do these films &#8211; fiction, non-fiction, or somewhere in between &#8211; affect how we the audience remember and imagine the past? This is just one of the key questions addressed in Cinquegrani&#8217;s analysis. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;<\/em>The book is about war in its most inflamed, bloodied, unfaltering and cruel forms,&#8221; Cinquegrani says, reflecting on the book and its contents. &#8220;It is about a century which was shaped less by the technological advancements and more by the catastrophes which unfolded on unprecedented scale across the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/edinburghuniversitypress.com\/book-film-hot-war-traces-and-cold-war-spaces.html\"><em>Film, Hot War Traces and Cold War Spaces<\/em><\/a> is available now from Edinburgh University Press.
