Τα τελευταία χρόνια το ενδιαφέρον για θέματα που αφορούν τη σχέση πόλης και κινηματογράφου έχει αυξηθεί μέσα από επίκαιρες αναζητήσεις αρχιτεκτόνων, κοινωνιολόγων, ιστορικών, σκηνοθετών και θεωρητικών του κινηματογράφου. Η διερεύνηση του ρόλου του αστικού τοπίου στον κινηματογράφο μας δίνει τη δυνατότητα να κατανοήσουμε όχι μόνο το πώς η πόλη συνέβαλε στην εξέλιξη του κινηματογράφου και με ποιο τρόπο ο κινηματογράφος εμπνεύστηκε από την πόλη και την ανακατασκεύασε, αλλά και το πώς οι ποικίλοι και διαρκώς μεταβαλλόμενοι τρόποι θέασης, καταγραφής και αναπαράστασης της πόλης μπορούν να φωτίσουν τους τρόπους κατανόησης και αντίληψης των πολύπλοκων και όλο και μεταβαλλόμενων αστικών μορφωμάτων μέσα στα οποία ζει πλέον πάνω από το μισό του παγκόσμιου πληθυσμού.
Η έκδοση της συλλογής κειμένων "Πόλη και κινηματογράφος: θεωρητικές και μεθοδολογικές προσεγγίσεις" που επιμελήθηκαν οι Ειρήνη Σηφάκη, Άννα Πούπου και Αφροδίτη Νικολαΐδου αποτελεί μια πρώτη απόπειρα χαρτογράφησης του εύρους του νέου αυτού διεπιστημονικού πεδίου που καταγράφεται με μεγάλη δυναμική στη διεθνή βιβλιογραφία. Αντικείμενα μελέτης των κειμένων που περιλαμβάνονται σε αυτό το βιβλίο είναι η εικονογραφία της κινηματογραφημένης πόλης, η μετατροπή του αστικού χώρου σε κινηματογραφικό ντεκόρ κατά τη διάρκεια παραγωγής μιας ταινίας, η γενεαλογία και δημιουργία της νοηματικής συστοιχίας που συνδέει την πόλη με τον κινηματογράφο και τη νεωτερικότητα σε θεωρητικά κείμενα της πολιτισμικής κριτικής. Ακόμα εξετάζεται η ιστορική πορεία της κινηματογραφικής αίθουσας ως σημείο συνάντησης της πόλης και του κινηματογράφου αλλά και η σχέση του δικτύου των κινηματογραφικών φεστιβάλ με τις πόλεις που τα φιλοξενούν.
Στο βιβλίο αυτό παρουσιάζονται τα πρωτότυπα άρθρα των Ε. Σηφάκη, Α. Πούπου, Α. Νικολαΐδου αλλά και τα αναδημοσιευμένα κείμενα αναγνωρισμένων ακαδημαϊκών του εξωτερικού που έχουν συμβάλει σημαντικά στο πεδίο αυτό όπως η Giuliana Bruno (Harvard University), η Νία Περιβολαροπούλου (Essen Universitat), ο Laurent Creton (Paris 3 - Universite de la Sorbonne Nouvelle), ο Julian Stringer (Nottingham University) και η Paula Massood (Brooklyn College).

Erin is about to turn thirty and her life is definitely not where she thought it would be. She hates her job, she's jealous of her perfect flatmate and she has just called off her wedding. She's trying (sort of) to make a fresh start and get things 'on track' finally, but where to begin?
A trip home to Ireland to celebrate her birthday with her beloved grandmother is a welcome distraction, but what she's not prepared for is the gift she receives: a secret family heirloom that will change everything.
There are so many questions that have been keeping Erin from moving forward. Should she have married Dan? Would she be happier if she lost weight? Was turning down her dream job the giant mistake she's always feared it was? And now she might have a way to find the answers, and a clear path to the life she's always dreamed of.
But as Erin gets caught up in one 'if only' after another, is she missing out on all the things her real, present-day life is offering her?
If Only, the wonderful debut novel by Melanie Murphy is full of heart, humour, second chances, and a sprinkle of magic.
