    In this Episode of Lost in Frenchlatin we talk with Global Cinema expert Dina Iordanova about her 2016 book Cinemas of Paris. We talk about how Paris is a "never ending film festival," and why movie going in the city of light is unlike anywhere else. We talk about the wealth of movie theaters and why they are all different.

She is a film historian of transnational cinema and has particular interest in the study of film festivals and global film circulation.
