SUMMARY:Visual Memories: Cultural Revolution and Cinema
DESCRIPTION:\n	Sponsored by the Department of East Asian Languages and Civi
 lizations\, Harvard University\; the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\;
  the Harvard-Yenching Institute\; and the CCK Foundation\n\n\n	What was cu
 ltural about the Cultural Revolution\, or was the decade only a cultural d
 esert? Upon the fiftieth anniversary of the Cultural Revolution\, this sy
 mposium considers the cinematic production and reception\, practices and l
 egacies of that tumultuous decade. The mass criticism of several “poiso
 nous weed” films in the mid-1960s helped to launch the Cultural Revoluti
 on\, and the 1970s saw the expansion of the film exhibition network and r
 adical growth of film audiences. If film was the mass medium that reached
  the most number of people\, were these people simply “brainwashed” by
  what they saw\, or were there more alternative modes of reception? With 
 the censorship and rejection of nearly all films made before 1966\, what s
 pecial film aesthetics and genres emerged in the Cultural Revolution? How
  did cinema interact with other propaganda media? What was the political r
 ole of film production\, exhibition\, and criticism\, especially given th
 e intense involvement of top political leaders? What has been the afterli
 fe of Cultural Revolution cinema\, and how are the decade’s films and ev
 eryday movie- going remembered today? These questions will be addressed i
 n the three panels—Revolution through Cinema\, Revolutionary Aesthetics\
 , and Cinematic Memories—plus a roundtable discussion.\n\n	Agenda: \n\n
