Moreover, the academic work that does exist has mostly seen pandemic movies narrowly, usually as subgenres of existing categories like horror or science fiction. And even when researchers treated the films as genres, they almost exclusively focused on English-language productions despite the international status of the phenomenon. The introduction, therefore, agitates for a need to expand the analysis to other countries and offers the special issue as an early response in that direction.
