100 Years of Chinese Cinema: A Retrospective The College of Staten Island/City University of New York and the Film Society of Lincoln Center, will sponsor a Chinese Film Retrospective in October 2005 in celebration of the 100th anniversary of film production in China. The three-week long Chinese Film Retrospective will include a Film Festival at Lincoln Center, screenings and interviews at the Asia Society, CUNY-TV and China Institute, and a Film Symposium at the College of Staten Island/CUNY. This centennial celebration aims to offer audiences a survey of the history of Chinese cinema from the silent era to contemporary works, accompanied by academic discussions and informative interviews with prominent Chinese filmmakers whom we have invited to the United States. It hopes to provide audiences in the New York Metropolitan area with the opportunity to see a wide variety of Chinese films, some of which have never been seen before in the US. At the heart of the Retrospective is an international by-invitation academic symposium at the College of Staten Island. The Symposium will bring together distinguished experts to CSI for a day-and-a-half exchange on the history and current state of Chinese cinema.
