Description: An anthology that explores film works by the "urban generation,"--filmmakers who operate outside of "mainstream" (officially sanctioned) Chinese cinema -- whose impact has been enormous.
Review Quotes: "An essential addition to contemporary Chinese film studies, this provocative collection of essays effectively describes the significant breaks that the most recent generations of filmmakers and media artists in the PRC have made both with the tradition of Chinese filmmaking and with the acclaimed, influential 'Fifth Generation' that preceded them."--Richard Peña, Program Director, Film Society of Lincoln Center, and Professor of Film Studies, Columbia University
