Intercultural cinema has entered the mainstream, and we can neither celebrate it as resistant nor dismiss it as complicit. If a movie you see at the cineplex is an international co-production, its director is a Western person of color, and part of its proceeds go toward charity, does that make it a 'good' movie? Through impressive case studies and close viewings, Heffelfinger and Wright show that intercultural cinema's power relations take place not only within the films but also in the complex materiality of production, reception, and cultural impact.
