CHNS 0250 - Chinese Cinema
*Chinese Cinema* This course, taught in English, surveys the history of movies in China since the 1930s and also offers an in-depth look at the work of: China's fifth-generation directors of the 1980s and their successors up to the present; Taiwan's new wave; and Hong Kong popular cinema, including martial arts film. Our focus is the screening and discussion of films such as /The Goddess/ (a 1934 silent classic), /Stage Sisters/ (1965; directed by the influential Xie Jin), the controversial /Yellow Earth/ (1984), /In the Heat of the Sun/ (a 1994 break with the conventional representation of the Cultural Revolution), Yang Dechang's masterpiece /A One and a Two/ (2000), and /Still Life/ (Jia Zhangke's 2006 meditation on displacement near the Three Gorges Dam). The course is designed to help students understand the place of cinema in Chinese culture and develop the analytical tools necessary for the informed viewing and study of Chinese film. We will look at everything from art film, to underground film, to recent box office hits. (No prerequisites) One evening film screening per week. 3 hrs. lect./disc.
