A History of Chinese Film Historiography (1978–2019)
This is the first academic research about the historiography of China film history. The author spent several years in depth reading of relevant documents, in order to reveal the reasons through the complicated phenomena. Readers in the field of film study, whether beginners or senior researchers, can learn about the development of China film history in the past forty years. The writing method of the book is unique. Different from the linear mode of general academic history writing, it observes the historiography of China film history from different aspects, such as the historical concept, the research paradigms, the writing methods, and the oral history of film.
Film History and Screen Culture in and beyond Greater China
Bringing together work from established and emerging scholars and practitioners from around the world, this collection expands existing scholarship on cinemas of the Sinosphere by revealing forgotten and emerging aspects of film history. Organised chronologically, individual chapters cover geographic regions of mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan to engage with key issues of film history and screen politics that are overlooked by the traditional canon of Chinese cinema. Tackling key debates on (post)colonialism, (cold)war, and their sociopolitical impacts on screen culture in these regions, this collection challenges the binary paradigms that are perpetuated in the historical scholarship of Chinese cinema, such as left-wing and right-wing cinema, commercial entertainment and political propaganda films, and mass consumption of genre films versus the critical acclaim of New Wave auteurism. Together, the essays reveal the cultural mobility across different geographic and sociopolitical borders, their intertwined experience of the past, and historical events’ impact on contemporary filmmaking and screen cultures. This collection will be of interest to students and researchers of Film, Media, and Cultural Studies as well as Asian Studies and Chinese Studies.
Hong Kong Cinema and Sinophone Transnationalisms

Hong Kong Cinema and Sinophone Transnationalisms explores the intricate complexity of selected films and film-making practices from 1930s Hong Kong (and Shanghai) to the later 'new wave' phenomenon of the 1980s. The result is a Sinophone cinema that created some very different ways of understanding 'China' and 'Chineseness', developing their own 'cosmopolitan dreaming' within the cultural and economic changes of those times. Exploring sinification and its multiple manifestations in film, the book examines cinematic genres including Huangmei Opera films, qiqing (strange or queer romance) films, fanchuaners (professional cross-sex performers) in film, Hong Kong's Bond Movies (bangpian), erotic (fengyue) films, and New Wave Hong Kong cinema. In doing so, this book lays fruitful foundations for further understanding the development and changing faces of Hong Kong films and sinophone transnationalism in the even more complex and changing times of today.
