Dimensions of Conventionality and Innovation in Film: The Cultural Classification of Blockbusters, Award Winners, and Critics’ Favourites

---

Today’s complex film world seems to upset the dual structure corresponding with
Bourdieu’s categorization of ‘restricted’ and ‘large-scale’ fields of cultural production.
This article examines how movies in French, Dutch, American and British film fields
are classified in terms of material practices and symbolic affordances. It explores how
popular, professional, and critical recognition are related to film production as well
as interpretation. Analysis of the most successful film titles of 2007 offers insight into
the film field’s differentiation. Distinction between mainstream and artistic film shows a
gradual rather than a dichotomous positioning that spans between conventionality and
innovation. Apparently, the intertwining of small-scale and large-scale film fields cannot be
perceived as a straightforward loss of distinction or an overall shift of production logics,
but rather as ‘production on the boundaries’ in which filmmakers combine production
logics to cater to publics with various levels of aesthetic fluency and omnivorous taste
patterns.
