From melodrama to Cantonese opera, from silents to 3D animated film, Remaking Chinese Cinema traces cross-Pacific film remaking over the last eight decades.

Against the diffusion model of national cinema spreading from a central point she argues for a multi-local process of co-constitution and reconstitution.
