This volume aims both to establish cinema as a vital force in Shanghai culture and to direct attention to early Chinese cinema, a crucial chapter in Chinese cultural history long neglected by Western scholars. The book will appeal to scholars whose interests lie not just in film studies and Chinese history, but in the fields of modernity, urban studies, and popular culture.
