Abstract
Reinventing China: A Generation and Its Films presents a concise history of China’s Fifth Generation filmmakers and their unprecedented impact on Chinese film. Readers of Asian Cinema need no introduction to the Fifth Generation filmmakers: They are those individuals who graduated from the Beijing Film Academy’s class of 1982, the first class to graduate after the Cultural Revolution years. Clark’s thesis contends that the common life experiences of these individuals, combined with the profound changes that took place in Chinese society between 1966 and 1989, created an environment where both Chinese artists and the Chinese public were ripe for reinvention. Clark argues that the early films of the Fifth Generation helped the Chinese public re-imagine their culture and recent history in ways that had not been possible before.
