Description
China, poised to become the world’s largest film market, is home to an expansive state-supported movie and television industry. On an unparalleled scale, entire towns have been built around making movies. Given film censorship codes in China, period films provide a safe and familiar format to tell stories based around “official” narratives. The movie sets, rivaling real-world cities and monuments in their scale, have themselves become destinations for domestic and international tourists. Despite the fiction, they bear witness to a dynamic and changing China. Over five years photographer Mark Parascandola photographed movie production sites and outdoor sets across China. Michael Berry is Professor of Contemporary Chinese Cultural Studies at UCLA.
