Media Reviews
Chinese cinema’s unprecedented growth in the last decade invites new considerations about the state of this vibrant industry. In this expanded second edition, The Chinese Cinema Book addresses important developments in digital technology, documentary filmmaking, and censorship, propaganda and film policy, as they relate to one of the fastest growing cinemas in the world. -- Olivia Khoo, Associate Professor, School of Media, Film and Journalism, Monash University, Australia
The Chinese Cinema Book is sure to be a standard textbook for Chinese cinema studies. It systematically explores the rich and kaleidoscopic history of Chinese cinemas and covers key and up-to-date theories in the field. A must-read for anyone interested in Chinese cinema studies. -- Yongchun Fu, Associate Professor of Zhejiang Unviersity Ningbo Institute of Technology, China.
Substantially updated, with four new chapters alongside many other contributions from leading scholars, this new edition of The Chinese Cinema Book will be an essential resource for all researchers and teachers of Chinese film. As China looks poised to become the world’s largest film market, this volume’s comprehensive and illuminating approach to Chinese cinema from its earliest moments to the digital epoch is more valuable than ever. -- Margaret Hillenbrand, Associate Professor of Modern Chinese Literature and Culture, University of Oxford, UK.
Comprehensive, authoritative and a great read. * Linda Mitchell, Seminar Tutor, Cardiff University, UK *
