The scope of this collection is indicative of the breadth and diversity of music's role in cinema, as is its emphasis on musical contributions to ‘non-musical’ films. This book brings together chapters that are concerned both with the relationship between performance, music and film and the specificity of national, historical, social and cultural contexts. The book is organised into four sections: the first which is about music, film and culture focuses on cinema representations of music forms; the second explores stars, fan cultures and intertextuality; The third section considers the importance of popular music to contemporary cinema; and the final section looks to specific national contexts. Chapters detail jazz and animation, the country and western biopic, cult musicals and fandom, the importance of the soundtrack movie, and musicals from the former East Germany.
