Entering the digital age today, it is inconceivable for the audience to imagine how popular the silent movie once was. During our third session of the talk series, "Pages and Celluloid: Books on Early Cinema, the guest speakers will share with you two interesting publications, Chinese Cinema: Tracing the Origins and Zhu Shilin: A Filmmaker of His Times, and guide you to explore the evolution of Chinese motion pictures and look into the impact of Zhu Shilin, one of the most influential Chinese filmmakers, onto the development of Chinese cinema. You will also be able to get a taste of cinema experience of the early days by watching the screening of the silent film, Views of Hong Kong (1936), and the demonstration by silent film accompanist Ernesto Maurice Corpus at the talk.
