Event Description
Christina Klein considers some of the effects that globalization is having on film industries in the US and Asia. Taking the contemporary martial arts films as a case study, she explores the emergence of an increasingly trans-Pacific mode of film production and film style. She also examines how Hollywood is becoming Asianized in diverse ways while film industries in Asia are themselves becoming more Hollywoodized.
