Features: This is an academic work on film. Based on watching a large number of Chinese and foreign films and mastering extensive textual materials, the author adopts a broader perspective, relying on the practice of world cinema, to provide a new review of the history of Chinese film before the 1950s. The author constructs his own insights on the ontology and theory of film art, and proposes systematic suggestions for the development of film studies with preliminary analysis. The articles in the book are all expanded and organized from the author's lecture notes for undergraduate and graduate film students or academic conference presentations since the reform and opening-up period, offering practical reference value for film teaching or self-study of film knowledge.
