Fantastic Cinema and National Identity 

In addition to juxtaposing the natural with the supernatural, fantastic 
cinema often foregrounds interchanges between the rural and the urban, the 
traditional and the modern, the superstitious and the rational, the past 
and the present. This panel explores how fantastic films employ these 
relations in constructing and contesting national identity.
