Abstract

This article examines the Committee on International Non-Theatrical Events (CINE) and its role in promoting American nontheatrical films during the Cold War. CINE was established in 1957 to curate and submit American films to international festivals, aiming to present a positive image of the United States. The article discusses the geopolitical origins of film festivals and their use in cultural diplomacy. It also explores the clash between American and Soviet nontheatrical cinema and the significance of film festivals in generating cultural capital for nontheatrical filmmakers. CINE's growth and influence expanded over time, but it eventually became outdated and closed in 2018. [Extracted from the article]
