Abstract

Even if film studies have occupied an important place in Dutch universities since the 1990s, research and education are strongly dominated by television and new media. Within the context of the Netherlands and rather than discussing cinephilia in a traditional manner, I will develop in this article the concept of «migrating cinephilia» in Dutch or European research and education. I will also describe the increasing attention now being paid to Spanish films in programmes concerning European cinema.
