The Appearance of Cinema in San Francisco's Chinese Neighborhood

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Chinatown Film Culture provides the first comprehensive account of the emergence of film and moviegoing in the transpacific hub of San Francisco in the early twentieth century. Kim K. Fahlstedt suggests that immigrant audiences' role in the proliferation of cinema as public entertainment in the United States saturated the whole moviegoing experience, from outside on the street into the movie theater.
