Documentary filmmaking is one of the most vibrant areas of media
activity in the Chinese world, with many independent filmmakers
producing documentaries that deal with a range of sensitive
socio-political problems, bringing to their work a strongly ethical
approach. This book identifies notable similarities and crucial
differences between new Chinese-language documentaries in mainland
China and Taiwan. It outlines how documentary filmmaking has
developed, contrasts independent documentaries with dominant
official state productions, considers how independent documentary
filmmakers go about their work, including the work of exhibiting
their films and connecting with audiences, and discusses the
content of their documentaries, showing how the filmmakers portray
a wide range of subject matter regarding places and people, and how
they deal with particular issues including the underprivileged,
migrants and women in an ethical way. Throughout the book
demonstrates how successful Chinese-language independent
documentary filmmaking is, with many appearances at international
film festivals and a growing number of award-winning titles.
Migration has transformed Taiwanese society in the last 20 years.
The main inflows have been temporary workers from Southeast Asian
countries and female spouses from Southeast Asia and China marrying
Taiwanese husbands. The main outflow has been migration to China,
as a result of increased economic integration across the Taiwan
Strait. These changes have significantly altered Taiwan?EURO?s
ethnic structure and have profound social and political
implications for this new democracy. As large numbers of these
migrants take Taiwanese citizenship and their offspring gain voting
rights, the impact of these new Taiwanese will continue to
increase. This book showcases some of the leading researchers
working on migration to and from Taiwan. The chapters approach
migration from a range of disciplinary perspectives, including
international relations, sociology, social work, film studies,
political science, gender studies, geography and political economy
and so the book has great appeal to scholars and students

The book examines recent developments in Taiwan cinema, with
particular focus on a leading contemporary Taiwan filmmaker, Wei
Te-sheng, who is responsible for such Asian blockbusters as Cape
No.7, Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale and Kano. The book
discusses key issues, including: why (until about 2008) Taiwan
cinema underwent a decline, and how cinema is portraying current
social changes in Taiwan, including changing youth culture and how
it represents indigenous people in the historical narrative of
Taiwan. The book also explores the reasons why current Taiwan
cinema is receiving a much less enthusiastic response globally
compared to its reception in previous decades.
