What does it mean to be "Chinese?" This controversial question has
sparked off a never-ending process of image-making in Chinese and
Chinese-speaking communities throughout the twentieth century. This
introduction to Chinese national cinema, written by a leading
scholar, covers three "Chinas": mainland China, Hong Kong and
Taiwan. It traces the formation, negotiation and problematization
of the national on the Chinese screen over ninety years. Historical
and comparative perspectives bring out the parallel developments in
the three Chinas, while critical analysis explores thematic and
stylistic changes over time.
As well as exploring artistic achievements and ideological debates,
"Chinese National Cinema "also emphasizes industry research and
market analysis. The author concludes that despite the rigid
censorship systems and the pressures on film makers, Chinese
national cinema has never succeeded in projecting a single unified
picture, but rather portrays many Chinas.
