Series: Global Cinema

This volume examines the transmission, reception, and reproduction of

new cinematic styles, meanings, practices, and norms in early

twenty-first-century Asia. Hong Kong and

Bollywood offers new answers to the field of inter-Asian cultural studies,

which has been energized by the trends towards transnationalism and

translatability. It brings together a team of international scholars to

capture the latest development in the film industries of Hong Kong and Mumbai,

and to explore similar cross-cultural, political, and socioeconomic issues. It

also explains how Hong Kong and Bollywood filmmakers have gone beyond the

traditional focus on nationalism, urbanity and biculturalism to reposition

themselves as new cultural forces in the pantheon of global cinema.

Reviews for Hong Kong and Bollywood: Globalization of Asian Cinemas

It is a must-read for students, scholars and academics in the field of film and cultural studies. On account of its interdisciplinary appeal, the book will also be useful to students and scholars in other disciplines such as sociology and China studies, apart from being of interest to general readers and film lovers.
