[Commlist] Inaugural Issue of the Chinese Independent Cinema Observer published

The Chinese Independent Film Archive (CIFA) would like to alert you to 
the inaugural issue of its the new journal, the /Chinese Independent 
Cinema Observer.//
/
/Chinese Independent Cinema Observer/ is a bi-lingual peer-reviewed 
journal dedicated to the study of Chinese independent films and film 
culture, particularly of mainland China. It publishes three times a year 
on the official website of Chinese Independent Film Archive (CIFA). The 
editorial team is made up of twelve film scholars and/or independent 
filmmakers across the world who are eager to push the boundaries as a 
team and to create a journal that is inclusive, retrospective, creative 
and interactive.

This inaugural issue, ‘Sino-Japanese Connections in Independent Film 
Cultures’, seeks to understand Chinese independent cinema, together with 
its historical trajectories, spaces, and transformations, by situating 
it within and alongside the cinematic-cultural interconnections between 
China and Japan of the recent three decades (1989-2020). This issue does 
not seek to provide a so-called ‘panoramic view’ or the ‘one and only’ 
historical narrative apropos Japanese-Chinese independent film 
connections. Rather, the contributors use this platform as an entry 
point to demonstrate how complicated the interconnections are, their 
politics, and how meaningful it would be to engage in these discussions 
in the future.
