Reviews
"Asian Cinema: A Regional View is a turning point. It replaces the idea of Asian cinema as a set of national cinemas with a proliferation of transborder linkages across the region. Its chapters on regional co-productions, remakes, film festivals, streaming services, cinema archives and more will fundamentally change how we perceive Asian cinema. " -Chris Berry, King's College London, co-editor of Cultural Studies and Cultural Industries in Northeast Asia: What a Difference a Region Makes.
