Documentaries on folk life and expression remain a vital genre, but scholars such as Sharon Sherman and Mikel Koven also are exploring how folklore elements appear in, and merge with, popular cinema. They look at how movies, a popular culture medium, can as well be both a medium and type of folklore, playing cultural roles and conveying meanings customarily found in other folkloric forms. They thus use the methodology of folklore studies to analyze films made for commercial distribution. The contributors to this book look at film and folklore convergences, showing how cinema conveys vernacular culture in traditional and popular venues. Folklore/Cinema will be of interest to scholars from many fields---folklore, film studies, popular culture, American studies, history, anthropology, and literature among them---and will help introduce students in various courses to intersections of film and culture.--Provided by publisher.I' y ava't un' fois (once upon a time) / Gillian Helfield -- Elvis Gratton / Julie M-A Leblanc -- A strange and foreign world / Rebecca Prime -- Pc Pinocchios / Holly Blackford -- From jinn to genies / Mark Allen Peterson -- "Now that I have it, I don't want it" / James A.
