GLOBALIZATION AND CONTEMPORARY CHINESE CINEMA -...

This pivot considers key transformations within the Chinese film industry since the country
opened its doors to the outside world in the late 1970s  and moved from an
ideologically-centred censorship system to one of contestation and cooperation between politics
art and market. Focusing on Zhang Yimou  arguably one of China's most innovative and
controversial filmmakers and directors  the author addresses the challenges faced by
contemporary Chinese cinema in the face of Hollywood dominance  notably making genre films in
an increasingly globalized context  and the necessary compromises between the local and global
the national and the international. Through a combination of textual analysis and context study
it examines action-oriented films Zhang made as responses to a rapidly changing film market and
industry.
