Abstract | The history of filmmaking in China and Japan and film usage in teaching are considered in this document. Pointing out how films describe historical context and culture, the document also describes various techniques of film making. Films in China were heavily influenced by western models and have tended to be tools of the power structure, as reflected by the Goumindang government, which enacted strict censorship laws in 1930 preventing the release of films that were: (1) critical of the regime, (2) dealt with the war with Japan, or (3) presented unfavorable social realities. Currently, there is a movement toward artistic freedom within strict limits. The film industry in Japan, thriving since the early 1900s, experienced the artistic growth of Japanese films as a result of freedom from corresponding restrictions imposed by the war. Japanese films are divided into two categories: (1) contemporary life films; and (2) period films. An overview of the films of five influential Japanese film makers and a brief list of their films is provided. There are numerous Chinese films available for rent and a brief description of five classic films made between 1937 and 1969 is included. Descriptions of films available for classroom use are included. (NL) |
