This volume features new work on cinema in early twentiethcentury Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Republican China. Looking beyond relatively wellstudied cities like Shanghai, these essays foreground cinemas relationship with imperialism and colonialism and emphasize the rapid development of cinema as a sociocultural institution. These essays examine where films were screened; how cinemagoing as a social activity adapted from and integrated with existing social norms and practices; the extent to which Cantonese opera and other regional performance traditions were models for the development of cinematic conventions; the role foreign films played in the development of cinema as an industry in the Republican era; and much more.
