Island on the Edge – Taiwan New Cinema and After

Chris Berry is professor of film studies at King's College London. Feii Lu is associate professor of the Department of Radio/TV at National Chengchi University in Taiwan.

As the first English-language anthology on Taiwan New Cinema, this is truly a groundbreaking work. The editors have assembled a collection of insightful essays by a group of well-informed and critically astute scholars. The book is essential reading for anyone who wishes to acquire an in-depth understanding of Taiwanese cinema, or more broadly, transnational Chinese-language cinema. -- Sheldon Lu, University of California, Davis This comprehensive anthology brings out a new perspective on the study of Taiwan cinema. For those who want to go beyond the Taiwan New Cinema movement and explore what happened during the past twenty years, they might begin with this book. It is, without doubt, a major contribution to the long-neglected territory in film history. -- Ru-Shou Robert Chen, Associate Professor and Head of the Graduate School of Applied Media Arts, National Taiwan University of Arts
