It shares a common formalist concern about cinematic modernism with its Western counterparts, departing from previous modes of filmmaking that were preoccupied with nostalgically romanticizing China's image.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough utilising in-depth case studies of films by Taiwan-based directors: Tsai Ming-liang, Zhao Deyin, and Hou Hsiao-hsien, Tsai discusses how Taiwan New Cinema represents a struggling configuration of the nation, brought forth by Taiwan's multilayered colonial and postcolonial histories. Taiwan New Cinema at Film Festivals presents the conditions that have led to the production of a national cinema, branding the auteur, and examines shifting representations of cultural identity in the context of globalization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781474496919\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beth Tsai","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44235824169210,"sku":"9781474496919","price":75.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1683900611381_book.jpg?v=1684161921","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/taiwan-new-cinema-at-film-festivals-9781474496919","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
