*Conference Description*

In 1921, the first Chinese-made long feature film was released – /Yan 
Ruisheng /(闫瑞生), directed by Ren Pengnian. In commemoration of this 
event, the University of Nottingham Ningbo China will be hosting the 
conference ‘_100 Years of Chinese Film & Screen’_, Friday May 14 and 
Saturday May 15, 2021, which will bring together scholars and 
practitioners to celebrate and examine the development of Chinese film 
studies and screen studies over the past century. In doing so, it aims 
to analyse the history of Chinese language film, assess the current 
landscape of Chinese film studies, and chart the possible futures of 
Chinese and other Sinophone cinemas. The keynote will be delivered 
virtually by Professor Chris Berry (King’s College London). Titled 
'Welcome to the Sinosphere’, it asks what Chinese Cinema is in an era of 
Chinese films made in multiple languages around the world and competing, 
nationally-based globalization projects.


Due to the current restrictions on travel, the conference will be a 
hybrid in-person/online event. We invite English-language submissions on 
any aspect of Chinese film and screen research, from scholars and 
practitioners, including:

§Chinese film/television histories

§Chinese stars and celebrities
