Film adaptations of regional operas were among the most popular genres in China from the 1950s to the 1970s. By examining Chinese opera films from various disciplinary approaches, our two-day symposium aims to expand our understanding of the genre and rethink the interactions of Chinese cinema and theatre in a historical and comparative perspective.
