"Citing China explores the role film plays in creating a common ground for the exchange of political and aesthetic ideas between China and the rest of the world. It does so by examining the depiction of China in contemporary film, looking at how global filmmakers “cite” China on screen.

The media spotlight trained on Beijing, and the international uproar over the events of that spring still shape the world's perceptions of the People's Republic and the ways that Chinese people, within and beyond China, see and portray themselves. In From Tian'anmen to Times Square, leading film s ..."

desire of its creator for a “complete preservation” of childhood dream/memory. As
a result, the film, as much ..."

effects), but only in the fantasy of ..."
