New Chinese-Language Documentaries: Ethics, Subject and Place de Kuei-fen Chiu

New Chinese-Language Documentaries: Ethics, Subject and Place: Media, Culture and Social Change in Asia

Autor Kuei-fen Chiu, Yingjin Zhang
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 oct 2017
Documentary filmmaking is one of the most vibrant areas of media activity in the Chinese world, with many independent filmmakers producing documentaries that deal with a range of sensitive socio-political problems, bringing to their work a strongly ethical approach. This book identifies notable similarities and crucial differences between new Chinese-language documentaries in mainland China and Taiwan. It outlines how documentary filmmaking has developed, contrasts independent documentaries with dominant official state productions, considers how independent documentary filmmakers go about their work, including the work of exhibiting their films and connecting with audiences, and discusses the content of their documentaries, showing how the filmmakers portray a wide range of subject matter regarding places and people, and how they deal with particular issues including the underprivileged, migrants and women in an ethical way. Throughout the book demonstrates how successful Chinese-language independent documentary filmmaking is, with many appearances at international film festivals and a growing number of award-winning titles.

Recenzii

‘This is a fascinating work in the nascent and fledgling field of Chinese-language documentary studies. The authors masterfully demonstrate the ways in which documentary filmmakers have engaged fundamental issues confronting China and Taiwan: history and politics, ethics and truth, reality and place, gender and subjectivity, migration and cosmopolitanism, exhibition and circulation.’ – Sheldon Lu, University of California at Davis, USA
‘In this pioneering, illuminating book, Chiu and Zhang compare the trajectory in the development and international reception of new documentaries from Mainland China and Taiwan, which surged suddenly in the 1990s, remaining quite active through the present. The authors also insightfully explore issues of ethics, subjectivities, and migration in the Chinese-language documentaries from both areas. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Chinese/Taiwan Studies and/or Cinema/Documentary Studies.’ – Daw-Ming Lee, Professor & Chair, Department of Filmmaking, Taipei National University of the Arts, Taiwan
‘New Chinese-Language Documentaries is an exciting collaboration between a leading Taiwanese and a leading mainland-born scholar that extends English-language scholarship on Chinese-language documentary by encompassing Taiwanese productions and also coming bang up to date. In this deft and thorough book, Chiu and Zhang identify themes and topics such as gender, ethics, migration and how the films are distributed and exhibited to tease out commonalities and connections without ever losing sight of local specificity and difference. The result is both lucid and profound.’ – Chris Berry, King’s College London, UK
Chiu and Zhang flesh out this framework with insightful details from contemporary Chinese-speaking directors and their films. - B. M. McNeal, emerita, Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania
