New Rural Cinema
n the past decade, spanning from the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis to the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, rural poverty in the United States has risen dramatically. The impact of the pandemic is set to intensify these inequalities as the decades of neoliberal dismantling of public healthcare and other social institutions leave inhabitants of impoverished rural areas particularly vulnerable.

Film Festivals
Movies, stars, auteurs, critics, and the sheer excitement of cinema come together in film festivals as quintessential constellations of art, business, and glamour. Yet, how well do we actually understand the forces and meanings that these events embody? Film Festivals offers the first comprehensive overview of the history, people, films, and multiple functions of the festival world. From Sundance to Hong Kong, from the glitter of Cannes to edgier festivals that challenge boundaries or foster LGBTQ cultural production, film festivals celebrate art, promote business, bring cinema to diverse audiences, and raise key issues about how we see our world. Cindy Hing-Yuk Wong situates festivals within changing global practices of film, including their important ties to both Hollywood and independent cinema. She explores how these events have become central in the construction of cinema knowledge as well as the behind-the-scene mechanics of finance, distribution, and evaluation. By linking general structures and connections to specific films and auteurs, Wong addresses the components and creation of film festivals that continue to reshape filmmaking as art and business.

The New Emerging Credit Union World
This is the Second Edition of THE CREDIT UNION WORLD: Theory, Process, Practice--Cases & Applicaton. The First Edition was released just prior to the financial melt-down and the skyrocketing debt of the United States. As a result of the political and financial upheaval, both in the U.S. and abroad, it was imperative that a second edition be published at this time. Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac, federal government backed mortgages, have been a disaster in the mortgage and housing market, leaving home owners all over America in foreclosure, underwater, or in serious distress. Since the federal government has become so intrusive into the corporate world by taking over entire industries such as automobile factories and meddling directly into the banking industry and Wallstreet in general, these issues do effect the credit union world.
