Its body sank during the shipwreck Summary Women Filmmakers in Sinophone World Cinema portrays a group of important contemporary women filmmakers working across the Sinophone world including Taiwan, Hong Kong, mainland China, and beyond. The book delineates and conceptualizes their cinematic and trans-media practices within an evolving, multifaceted feminist intimate-public commons. The films by these experienced and emerging filmmakers, including Huang Yu-shan, Yau Ching, Ai Xiaoming, Wen Hui, Huang Ji and others, represent some of the most innovative and socially engaged work in both fictional and non-fictional modes in Chinese-language cinema as well as global women's cinema. Their narrative, documentary, and experimental film practices from the 1980s to the present, along with their work in sister media such as dance, theater, literature, and contemporary art, their activities as scholars, educators, activists, and film festival organizers or jurors, have significantly reshaped the landscape of Sinophone film culture and expanded the borders of world cinema Analysis Asian Studies AS Contemporary Society CONTEMP SOC East Asia and North East Asia EA & NE ASIA Film Studies FILM Gender and Sexuality Studies GEND & SEXU affectionate feminism, intimate-public sphere, melodrama, realism, documentary, Chinese-language cinema Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on September 28, 2023) Subject Women motion picture producers and directors -- China Women motion picture producers and directors.
