Book Webinar: Global Cult Cinemas: Decolonizing Cult Film Studies ( 2026 )

To date, discourses of cult cinema have predominantly focused upon Anglo-American cinema and its reception in the West. Even when cult scholarship has expanded to include non-English language cinema from regions such as East and Southeast Asia, what nevertheless tends to define these cinemas as cult has been the subcultural fandom for those films in the West. Shifting the focus onto cult film traditions and fandoms beyond the Anglosphere, Global Cult Cinemas critiques the Eurocentric assumptions that lie at the heart of much existing cult film scholarship and calls for a decolonization of cult film studies.
