[ecrea] Conference on Chinese Cinemas in and outside of China

Following two highly successful symposia, the Chinese Film Forum UK, a 
research network supported by the AHRC, is hosting an international 
conference on Chinese cinemas in and outside of China. This three-day 
conference brings together international scholars working on various 
aspects of Chinese cinema. The conference will consider the rapid 
development of the commercial film industry in China today and its 
subsequent impact on filmmaking in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and on 
independent production within China itself.
