Features: Over the past 100 years, the art of cinema has evolved from its birth to growth and expansion, and since then, railway films have held an important place in world cinema. This book traces the history of world railway films along this long railway line. From the very beginning of world cinema, railway films have never been absent. One of the first public screenings of films in the world, The Arrival of a Train, was a railway film—a black-and-white documentary depicting the arrival of a train. The first feature-length narrative film produced after the founding of New China also began with the railway film The Bridge. Throughout film history, many railway films with unique significance have emerged. Since the soul of railways has entered the world of cinema, let us follow it and embark on a journey of exploring world railway films. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Chinese cinema and the 110th anniversary of world cinema, this book expresses mutual respect between two civilizations.
