This book is the first anthology of research devoted to the booming world of Chinese film
festivals covering both mainstream and independent films. It also explores festivals in the
Chinese-speaking world and festivals of Chinese films in the rest of the world. The book asks
how Chinese film festivals function as sites of translation translating Chinese culture to the
world and world culture to Chinese-speaking audiences and also how the international film
festival model is being transformed as it is translated into the Chinese-speaking world.
