Features: The Centennial Selection of Chinese Film Theory fully relies on rationalism, adhering to the principles of rigor, comprehensiveness, and independence. It does not dismiss one theoretical phenomenon because of an inclination toward another. At the same time, it maintains a sympathetic understanding of the selected works, while striving to add new dimensions of interpretation based on the foundation of theoretical academia, film art, and historical perspectives. In the lengthy preface, the editor provides a fresh scan and interpretation of a century of Chinese film theory. Each article is preceded by a brief introduction to the author and the content of the article for reference. The book also corrects several obvious editing errors from the first edition and includes additional theoretical articles, along with an Image Collection, to delight the readers.
