All Courses

This course examines how films produced across the Chinese-speaking world—including mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and immigrant communities—depict diverse Chinese-speaking identities while addressing themes such as cultural heritage, societal change, nationalism, migration, gender dynamics, family structures, class straggles, and generational conflict. The course offers a broad understanding of cinema from the Chinese-speaking world, film theory, cultural studies, and relevant Hollywood films. All films have English subtitles. Requirements include film viewings, presentations, quizzes, class discussions, and a final paper.
