A recipient of numerous awards, Dolan has recently taken his career to an international level with \u003ci\u003eThe Death and Life of John F. Donovan\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003eAs the first book-length study about Dolan, with case studies of key films like \u003ci\u003eMommy\u003c\/i\u003e (2014), \u003ci\u003eTom at the Farm\u003c\/i\u003e (2013) and \u003ci\u003eIt's Only the End of the World\u003c\/i\u003e (2016), this volume explores the global reach of small national and subnational cinemas. In particular, it uses Dolan's cinema as a departure point to reconsider the position of Qu?bec film and cultural imaginary within a global cinematic culture, as well as the intersections between national, millennial and queer filmmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndrée Lafontaine is Assistant Professor of Anglophone Literature and Culture at the University of Tsukuba (Japan).
