China Cineclub Cycle: “A Historical Look”

June 13 – July 11, 2018

This programme is constituted by five sessions that take a journey through the sociopolitical history of China. The sessions will also have a brief presentation on the film and its historical setting where it is located, ending with a film-forum with the audience after the screening.

There are many films that have been produced in China that deal with the different historical periods of the country. Through this cycle, we will go through the history of China from the mid-18th century (the so-called Late Imperial Era) to current times, through the Qing Dynasty, the Japanese invasion and the period of the Cultural Revolution.
