Contemporary Art Cinema Culture in China
How do contemporary Chinese audiences access art cinema?What are the alternative channels for the distribution and exhibition of art cinema in China?How is Chinese art cinema changing with the booming of internet media and commodity culture in the 21st century? To answer these questions, Xiang Fan explores the dynamic networks of art cinema in China in the 21st century, highlighting the cultural practices of intermediaries such as independent programmers, internet critics, and fan translators.Offering insights gleaned from original ethnographic research, Fan reveals how these intermediary practitioners think about cinema, negotiate judgement and appreciation, construct a discourse of value and taste, and most importantly, constitute a coordinated and interrelated network for the sharing of art cinema.She argues that although their motivation was derived from a cinephilia seeking to forge an alternative mode of distribution and reception, the ‘new’ cinema culture they have produced simultaneously negotiates a subtly complicit relationship with authoritative and market forces.In doing so, she offers an original interdisciplinary perspective on contemporary art cinema culture in Chinese society.

European Art Cinema
European art cinema includes some of the most famous films in cinema history.It is elite filmmaking that stands in direct opposition to popular cinema; and yet, it also has an intimate relationship with Hollywood. This guidebook sketches successive phases of art cinema in Europe from its early beginnings of putting Shakespeare’s plays on the screen, through movements such as Expressionism and Surrealism, to the New Waves of the 1960s and more recent incarnations like Dogme 95.Using film examples, John White examines basic critical approaches to art cinema such as semiotics and auteur theory, as well as addressing recurring themes and ideas such as existentialism and Christian belief.The different levels of political commitment and social criticism, which appear in many of these films, are also discussed. The book includes case studies of eight representative films:• The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (Wiene, 1920)• Earth (Dovzhenko, 1930)• A Man Escaped (Bresson, 1956)• Hiroshima mon amour (Resnais, 1959)• Aguirre, Wrath of God (Herzog, 1972)• Comrades (Douglas, 1986)• Le Quattro Volte (Frammartino, 2010)• Silence (Collins, 2012).

'DDR Film Cinema'
DDR Film Cinema refers to the film industry in East Germany during the time when the country was known as the German Democratic Republic (GDR). The GDR had its own state-run film production company, DEFA, which produced a wide range of films including feature films, documentaries, and children's films. DDR Film Cinema was heavily influenced by the socialist ideology of the GDR government, and many films produced during this time promoted socialist values and ideals. Despite the political constraints placed on filmmakers by the government, DDR Film Cinema produced a number of critically acclaimed films that are still celebrated today for their artistic merit and unique perspective on life in East Germany.

Do you prefer a full cinema or an empty cinema?
I prefer a full cinema because the energy and excitement of a crowd can enhance the movie-watching experience. The laughter, gasps, and reactions of other audience members can make the movie feel more immersive and enjoyable. Additionally, a full cinema can create a sense of community and shared experience that adds to the overall enjoyment of the film.

Am I going to the cinema or driving to the cinema?
It depends on your preference and circumstances. If you enjoy the experience of watching a movie on the big screen and being in a cinema environment, then you may choose to go to the cinema. However, if you prefer the convenience of watching a movie from the comfort of your own car or if you want to maintain social distancing, then you may choose to drive to a drive-in cinema instead. Ultimately, the decision between going to the cinema or driving to the cinema depends on your personal preferences and the current situation.

Should I go to the IMAX cinema or the regular cinema?
It ultimately depends on your preferences and what you are looking for in a movie-watching experience. IMAX cinemas offer a larger screen, enhanced sound quality, and a more immersive experience, making them ideal for big-budget blockbusters or visually stunning films. On the other hand, regular cinemas are more budget-friendly and may be more suitable for casual moviegoers or smaller, dialogue-driven films. Consider what kind of movie you are planning to watch and how important the viewing experience is to you before making a decision.

Cinema Memories : A People's History of Cinema-going in 1960s Britain
Cinema Memories brings together and analyses the memories of almost a thousand people of going to the cinema in Britain during the 1960s. It offers a fresh perspective on the social, cultural and film history of what has come to be seen as an iconic decade, with the release of films such as A Taste of Honey, The Sound of Music, Darling, Blow-Up, Alfie, The Graduate, and Bonnie and Clyde. Drawing on first-hand accounts, authors Melvyn Stokes, Matthew Jones and Emma Pett explore how cinema-goers constructed meanings from the films they watched - through a complex process of negotiation between the films concerned, their own social and cultural identities, and their awareness of changes in British society.Their analysis helps the reader see what light the cultural memory of 1960s cinema-going sheds on how the Sixties in Britain is remembered and interpreted.Positioning their study within debates about memory, 1960s cinema, and the seemingly transformative nature of this decade of British history, the authors reflect on the methodologies deployed, the use of memories as historical sources, and the various ways in which cinema and cinema-going came to mean something to their audiences.
