Transcultural Cinema Forum 2023

The Transcultural Studies Division holds lecture series as a part of the course, “Transcultural Asian Cinema” conducted by Prof. Mitsuyo Wada-Marciano.

This course examines contemporary East Asian cinemas’ transnational current at various levels of industry, genre, filmic style, and global commodification. Despite Hollywood cinema’s historical dominance of the global cinema market, the ways in which cinema is disseminated have no longer been monolithic, especially in this age of online. Such cultural traffic has occurred through negotiations among locales, regions, and nations, across East Asian countries and Hollywood as well.

This two-month intensive coursenscrutinizes the dynamic between the global and the local by focusing on those East Asian cinemas’ strategies towards globalization and regionalization. The course has been constructed in multiple sections, investigating transcultural aspects in cinema with specific topics, provided world-known filmamkers, producers, and film scholars.
