Global Film Genre Theory

Global Film Genre Theory examines how film genres—like horror, comedy, or action—operate across different cultures and regions worldwide. It explores how genres are created, adapted, and understood differently depending on local contexts, social norms, and audiences. The theory highlights that genres are not fixed but evolve through cultural exchange, globalization, and industry influences, resulting in both shared influences and unique regional variations. Ultimately, it offers a framework for understanding how global trends and local traditions shape the way stories are told through cinema around the world.
