This document discusses various perspectives on conceptualizing world cinema beyond just viewing it through a US-centric or Hollywood lens. It mentions concepts like Third Cinema which originated in Latin America and questions structures of power globally. National cinemas are also part of the totality of world cinema.

Defining world cinema is an ongoing discussion that must account for diverse audiences and sites of exhibition/distribution internationally.
