01 May / From Tian’anmen to Times Square: Transnational China and the Chinese Diaspora on Global Screens, 1989-1997 by Gina Marchetti [in Bloomsbury Review]
Leading film scholar Marchetti confronts media depictions of China as captured on film at the end of the 20th century, caught somewhere between a revolutionary, political square on one side of the world to a commercial, capitalist square some 7000 miles away. A contemporary companion title of sorts to China on Screen (above).
