Film as Friendship: China’s Cultural Diplomacy in the Cold War
Thursday, November. 5, at 7 p.m., Mabel Brown Room
In the 1950s, China (PRC) produced and exported films throughout Asia in hopes of promoting friendship, solidarity, and anti-colonial sentiment among neighboring nations. Using footage from some of these films, Tina Mai Chen, professor of history and co-coordinator of the Interdisciplinary Research Circle on Globalization and Cosmopolitanism at the University of Manitoba, discusses the effects of this effort, placing it within the context of contemporary conversations about local/global cultural exchange.
