Summary:
"China on Film presents a collection of films from the British Film Institute featuring China from 1900 through to 1997. The majority of these films were filmed by Western travellers or residents and therefore present a unique perspective on China during this time. Discover more about this perspective with an essay on China and Foreign Imperialism in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Century by Shuge Wei and a video interview with Charlotte Brooks on Westerners in China: Perspectives and Misconceptions. The films in the collection are a combination of professional and amateur films including travelogues, newsreels and documentaries."-- Provided by the publisher.
