The newest issue of the Journal of Chinese Cinemas, edited by Song Hwee Lim and Julian Ward, is now available online. The current issue bears a special focus on topics related to Chinese independent cinema, with essays on such topics as: independent documentaries dealing with the topic of migration; the beleaguered independent film festival Yunfest; and the documentary filmmaker Zhao Liang.
Entering its seventh volume, Journal of Chinese Cinemas is a major refereed academic publication devoted to the study of Chinese film, drawing on the recent world-wide growth of interest in Chinese cinemas. An incredibly diverse range of films has emerged from all parts of the Chinese-speaking world over the last few years, with an ever increasing number of border-crossing collaborative efforts prominent among them. These exciting developments provide abundant ground for academic research.
