The 24 FRAMES series is a major new publishing project consisting of 18 volumes providing comprehensive overviews of national and regional cinemas from all over the world. Each volume focuses on 24 key feature films or documentaries that serve as entry-points to the appreciation and study of the history, industry, social and political significance, and key directors and stars of every national cinema around the world. These collections are each edited by renowned experts in their respective areas and offer a unique, text-centred insight into the history of global cinema.

Forthcoming in the 24 Frames series in 2007 is a new volume on the cinema of Australia & New Zealand, Russia & the Former Soviet Union, and North Africa & the Middle East; many more volumes are planned for 2008 and beyond, including titles on Germany, India, China & South-East Asia, and Southern Africa.

'Wallflower Press are to be congratulated on their enterprising series, which bids fair to become the first port of call for students – undergraduate and postgraduate – of the key European national cinemas.'
