SUMMARY:Rediscovering early Chinese Film History: Spanish, Mediterranean and Southern European seminal influence in the genesis of Chinese Film Industry
DESCRIPTION:<p>RCC is pleased to announce this talk by <a href="internal:/people/juan-ignacio-toro-escudero" data-url="http://rcc.harvard.edu/people/juan-ignacio-toro-escudero">Juan Ignacio Toro Escudero</a>, RCC Fellow and Teaching Assistant at the Department of <a href="http://rll.fas.harvard.edu/" data-url="http://rll.fas.harvard.edu/">Romance Languages &amp; Literature at Harvard</a>.<!--break--></p><p>For the first time in History, Chinese box-office surpassed North American revenues for ticket-selling in some periods of 2015, becoming the top national market in the world during those weeks, in what seems to be a solid tendency for the coming years. The Chinese market is, notwithstanding, not especially permeable to foreign films, a synonym to Hollywood films in Chinese film-goers’ and industry’s mindset. This was not always the rule. In fact, the foundations of Chinese film industry were set by a handful of foreign pioneers who, years later, made possible the timid endeavours of local entrepreneurs. Among those pioneers, Spaniards led by Antonio Ramos Espejo, were crucial.</p><p></p><p><strong>Sponsor(s):  </strong><a href="internal:/" data-cke-saved-href="http://rcc.harvard.edu/">Real Colegio Complutense</a><br><br><strong>Contact(s):</strong> <a href="mailto:///rcc@harvard.edu" target="_blank" data-cke-saved-href="mailto:rcc@harvard.edu">Kim Conant</a></p>
