Global Media Flow

Global media flow is the flow of cinema culture that is being produced and traveling globally. Practices of Looking, mentions how sometimes we, as the cinematic audience view some cultural products as maybe "nationally" like Hollywood films, when in reality these have been circulated through global networks. A great example the book uses is the television series Survivor, which originates from Britain and Sweden, they have been franchised across the globe and have been nationalized now all over the world. I think it is definitely safe to say, Hollywood no longer carries the torch on popular film culture. Which I think is absolutely great, because there is only so much you can reenact instead of actually packing up and traveling to other countries to film, which in lots of cases, makes a film so great. Globalization has come a long ways in the past couple decades, that's for sure!
