Nationalist and left-wing cinemas: is there a propaganda cinema in 1930's China?
A la recherche du cinéma de propagande: cinéma nationaliste et cinéma de gauche dans la Chine des années 1930
Résumé
In 1930's China, while the country, under the rule of Nationalist, was facing the threat of the economic and military invasion of Western powers, and in particular of Japan, Chinese cinema was perceived by the intelligentsia and the politics as a tool well suited to educate the people of New China. However, neither the ruling Guomindang, nor its enemy, the Communist Party, managed to really control the movie industry, which was in the hand of private companies. This article examines the attempt made by both sides to establish a propaganda cinema and explores the reason why this attempt failed to succeed.
