Research: Personal cinema and the creative reuse of archive material in contemporary Chinese documentary

Contemporary Chinese documentary has undergone a profound evolution from the 1980s to the present day. Starting from the works of three Chinese documentary filmmakers, through a diachronic analysis and a comparison of dramaturgy and aesthetics, the research aims to consolidate the state of the art on contemporary Chinese documentary cinema and deepen the form of artistic expression of Personal Cinema that operates the creative reuse of archival material by retracing the social traumas of the People's Republic of China over the last century. The research also aims to highlight how the contemporary practice of re-appropriation of individual memories can contribute to the discourse on amateur cinema and new technologies in China.
