Bringing established as well as emergent figures of world art cinema to the fore,\u003ci\u003e The Global Auteur \u003c\/i\u003eshows how politics and philosophy are present in the works of these important filmmakers. They can be still seen leading a fight that their glorious predecessors seemed to have abandoned in the face of global capitalism and the market economy. Yet, as the contributors show, a new world calls for a new cinema, and thus for new auteurs.
