Cinema Of China




The history of , Cinema of China, and Cinema Of Taiwan . The cinema of Mainland China after 1949 has grown up somewhat suppressed by the Communist Party Of China until recent times, and some films with political overtones are still censored or banned in China itself. However, most of these films are allowed to be shown abroad in commercially distributed Theater s or in Film Festival s.

The vast majority of the Mainland-produced movies are Mandarin -based, unlike those from contemporary Hong Kong , which are almost exclusively made in Cantonese . Mainland films are often dubbed when exported to Hong Kong for theatrical runs, though Taiwan, like the PRC predominantly Mandarin-speaking, offer a ready alternative commercial venue for export.
