Chinese Independent Documentary Cinema in the Age of New Media From 1990 to 2020

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to take new media as an entry point to discover the development of Chinese independent documentary cinema from 1990 to 2020. It will be divided into three main sections, and each section will have different historical contexts. Section one will explore how the introduction of Digital Video (DV) changed the way independent documentary filmmakers produced documentaries in the 1990s. Section two will explore how the independent film festival brought ‘underground’ documentaries from ‘underground’ to the ‘public’ in the 2000s. Section three will examine the ‘death’ and ‘birth’ of Chinese independent documentary cinema in the 2010s.
