From a near standing start in the 1970s, the emergence and expansion of an aesthetically and culturally distinctive Scottish cinema proved to be one of the most significant developments within late-twentieth and early twenty-first-century British film culture. Individual Scottish films and filmmakers have attracted notable amounts of critical attention as a result. The New Scottish Cinema, however, is the first book to trace Scottish film culture's industrial, creative and critical evolution in comprehensive detail across a forty-year period. On the one hand, it invites readers to reconsider the known - films such as Shallow Grave, Ratcatcher, The Magdalene Sisters, Young Adam, Red Road and The Last King of Scotland. On the other, it uncovers the overlooked, from the 1980s comedic film makers who followed in the footsteps of Bill Forsyth to the variety of present-day Scottish film making - a body of work that encompasses explorations of multiculturalism, exploitation of the macabre and much else in between.In addition to analysing an eclectic range of films and filmmakers, The New Scottish Cinema also examines the diverse industrial, institutional and cultural contexts which have allowed Scottish film to evolve and grow since the 1970s, and relates these to the images of Scotland which artists have put on screen.In so doing, the book narrates a story of interest to any student of contemporary British film.

"Murray's histories and critiques of selected films are both diligent and likeably discursive: he is an astute writer whose open-minded attention extracts intriguing detail from films... a timely, challenging and highly readable companion to Scotland's recent film activity." Hannah McGill, Sight and Sound Vol. 25.9 (September 2015); " [A] vital analysis of the evolution of Scotland's cinema since 1990, Jonathan Murray's book intertwines intricate analysis of films... with a precise account of tortuous developments in the chronically under-funded local industry." Graham Fuller, Film Comment Vol. 51.5 (Sept/Oct 2015); "Staggeringly detailed and informative... Murray's [is a] masterful account of the past twenty years of Scottish cinema." Douglas Allen, Media Education Journal n. 58 (Winter 2015/16)
