While the People's Republic of China (PRC) is now the world's second-largest film industry in terms of revenue, as perhaps befits its putative status as the world's largest economy, cinema and moving image culture are increasingly transnational, collaborative, multi-platform. This course will not only explore the commercial cinema and blockbusters, but also the independent practices and moving image art. It will mainly examine the practices in mainland China since the 1980s, but the practices in Taiwan and Hong Kong will also be discussed, to problematise notions of national, regional, transnational and world cinema.
