Remapping world cinema through audience research
Remapping world cinema through audience research
This chapter explores how audience research can enhance our understanding of world cinema. It focuses in particular on the insights which can be drawn from box office figures, audience surveys and focus groups. I use these methods to examine how contemporary European audiences engage with films from around the world, though the methods can of course be applied to other contexts. The research itself comes out of the Mediating Cultural Encounters through European Screens (MeCETES) project, a three-year collaborative research project which examined the funding, production, distribution, reception and policy circumstances which enable European films and television dramas to be made and to circulate within contemporary Europe (www.mectes.co.uk).

Abstract
This chapter explores how audience research can enhance our understanding of world cinema. It focuses in particular on the insights which can be drawn from box office figures, audience surveys and focus groups. I use these methods to examine how contemporary European audiences engage with films from around the world, though the methods can of course be applied to other contexts. The research itself comes out of the Mediating Cultural Encounters through European Screens (MeCETES) project, a three-year collaborative research project which examined the funding, production, distribution, reception and policy circumstances which enable European films and television dramas to be made and to circulate within contemporary Europe (www.mectes.co.uk).
