Igor Krstic studied German and Comparative Literature at the University of Tubingen, after which he obtained an M.A in Film and Television Studies at the University of Amsterdam.
Krstic's highly accessible book shines a perceptive light on an
area of world cinema that has been surprisingly under-researched
for too long in film studies. It offers a refreshing insight into
the relationship between the evolution of film practice and slum
presentation and representation... This would appeal to both early
researchers and scholars who are interested in the growing
scholarship of world cinema.'--Tamara Courage, University of
Reading "Viewfinder"
This book skilfully provides a detailed and wide-ranging account of
slum representation across films drawn from most continents and
spanning a timeframe of over one hundred years. Analytically too,
the book engages with a range of academic thought from the politics
of urbanisation and globalisation to approaches drawn from cultural
and film studies...[Slums on Screen] will be of great academic
interest to scholars and students of development studies, urban
politics, film studies and visual anthropology as well as to avid
film fans.'--Shannon Philip "LSE Review of Books"
