This collection offers new approaches to theorizing Asian film in relation to the history, culture, geopolitics and economics of the continent. Bringing together original essays written by established and emerging scholars, this anthology transcends the limitations of national borders to do justice to the diverse ways in which the cinema shapes Asia geographically and imaginatively in the world today. This handbook will serve as an essential guide for committed scholars, students and all those interested in the past, present and possible future of Asian cinema in the 21st century.
The event will feature a series of short presentations given by contributors of the anthology including Aaron Magnan-Park, Gina Marchetti, Winnie Yee, Staci Ford, See Kam Tan and Bruno Lovric.
