Description
Features new work on cinema in early twentieth-century Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Republican China. Looking beyond relatively well-studied cities like Shanghai, these essays foreground cinema’s relationship with imperialism and colonialism and emphasize the rapid development of cinema as a sociocultural institution.
This is scholarship at its best. Going to previously unexamined sources and extending the range of cities covered beyond Shanghai, this volume is likely to be a new watershed in studies of early Chinese-language cinema.' —Chris Berry, King's College, London
'Highly original and groundbreaking archival research conducted by top scholars in the field. These new discoveries and angles reconfigure the conceptual framework within which Chinese cinema is understood. In short, we need this book urgently!' —Victor Fan, King's College, London
