Summary:

Chinese independent documentary filmmakers from mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong have been crucial to bring attention to social and political developments. Their projects are important primary source material for the study of contemporary China, and support institutions' programs on contemporary China studies. Because of the sensitive nature of their work, their web presences are at risk to disappear at any time. Distribution of Chinese independent documentary films also increasingly faces difficulties. The filmmaker's websites, blogs and video feeds include information and videos that are otherwise unavailable. Curated by Luo Zhou, Chinese Studies Librarian at Duke, and Joshua Seufert, Chinese Studies Librarian at Princeton, the archive aims to systematically capture and preserve theses ephemeral websites for future access.
