CHIN 3650 - Explore China Through Film

Cinematic texts are mirrors of multiple dimensions of a society or a nation’s historical, cultural, social, political, and economic. In this course we will screen films from Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan that have gained recognition for their landmark status and artistic quality, and read backgrounds and criticism on these movies. We will analyze the human and cultural values embedded in these movies, and examine their artistic approaches and styles. The course is conducted in English.
