“A pioneering work in intercultural and transcultural cinematic conversations, Fessas study offers new principles of hermeneutics for understanding images of animality and what they indicate in relation to anthropology, psychology, politics and philosophy. The result can be compared to Laura Mulvey hugely impactful essay that reinvented the vocabulary of film analysis. An immense contribution in taking Greek film culture out of its provincialism.� — Vrasidas Karalis , Associate Professor of Modern Greek, The University of Sydney, Australia  “I cant think of anything in Greek cinema studies that could compare with Animals and Greek Cinema . Fessas exhibits an astonishing knowledge of Greek filmography, weaving together, with incredible dexterity and strong academic rigour, theoretical, historical (and historiographic), philosophical, and industrial threads. A formidable scholarly achievement!� — Yannis Tzioumakis , Reader in Film and Media Industries, University of Liverpool, UK
