Abstract
State support for filmmaking in Europe is predicated upon the argument that films make an important contribution to the cultural life of the nation. Indeed, films, along with other cultural objects, contribute to the imaginative construction of both Europe and its constituent nation-states as 'home' for those who reside there. This has led to the charge that state-subsidized filmmaking constitutes a culturally reactionary response to the cosmopolitan flows of global culture and capital. However, drawing on Fredric Jameson's concept of cognitive mapping enables us to reconceive of the home as a progressive spatial category that expresses the imbrication of the local and the global in contemporary media culture.
