Rezensionen

'This new project will encourage its readers to rethink East Asian cinema not as a catalogue of snapshot profiles of individual national cinemas but as a vibrant synergetic field of cooperation and contention where new initiatives are launched, new ideas are created, and new possibilities are imagined.'

- Professor Yingjin Zhang, University of California, San Diego, USA
