*The 40^th  Anniversary of Chen Kaige’s /Yellow Earth /(1984)*

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the release of the film /Yellow 
Earth /(1984). Directed by Chen Kaige, it premiered at international 
film festivals the following year, winning critical acclaim and 
launching Chinese art cinema onto the global cinematic stage.

This one-day conference on Sunday May 5^th , held directly after the 
‘/Pan-Asian Quest of Cultural Authenticity: The Fantastic and the 
Folkloric in Film and the Creative Industries/’ conference at University 
of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC), celebrates this film by re-examining 
it 40 years after its creation, analysing its legacy and influence since 
its release. The conference will also examine the wider impact of 
China’s Fifth and Sixth Generation films and the ways these films have 
influenced cinema not only through their cinematography, aesthetics and 
themes, but also their reception both inside and outside China and their 
effects on the creative and cultural industries and film festival circuits.

The event will be a hybrid conference, with both in-person and online 
presentations. Proposals for 20 minute presentations should be submitted 
using the following form by midnight (China Standard Time), Sunday 31
