“The Formation of Art Cinema in China is an important intervention that sheds new light on contemporary Chinese cinema. Li Yang innovatively combines analysis of critical discourses and industrial practices by approaching cinema as a Bourdieuian field. Cutting across conventional divisions between independent and mainstream, she reveals how Chinese filmmakers have drawn inspiration from New Waves around the world and gone on to develop Chinese art cinema’s own distinct character.” (Chris Berry, Professor of Film Studies, King’s College London, UK)
