Summary, Etc.  

요약This dissertation examines the politics of Chinese cinema distribution and exhibition in the US between 2002 and 2020, a transformative period marked by the robust growth of China's domestic film industry, tightening state censorship, escalating U.S.-China geopolitical tensions, and the proliferation of online video platforms. It argues that the overseas dissemination of Chinese cinema has been achieved through a "shadow network" of grassroots, bottom-up activities. This network encompasses a wide range of stakeholders-filmmakers, distributors, critics, academics, and audience communities-who collectively shape how Chinese films circulate internationally. This focus reveals how the specialized, subordinate, and informal initiatives have shaped Chinese cinema's transnational presence beyond state-directed efforts of global expansion.Previous scholarship has addressed China as a lucrative box-office market for Hollywood and assessed the Chinese film industry as more self-sufficient than export-oriented. This dissertation challenges this political economy perspective by employing a site-specific approach to examine an array of distinct yet interconnected distribution and exhibition outlets. It approaches the transnational circulation of Chinese cinema not merely as a space for artistic rebellion and dissent, nor as indicators of failed cultural exportation, but as a productive network with its own promises, logics, and strategies. The project begins by analyzing the theatrical distribution of Chinese cinema in the US, revealing imbalanced power dynamics between Hollywood executives and Chinese directors and distributors. The next chapter examines the rise of diasporic film festivals following the post-2012 Chinese government crackdown on independent film festivals. The final chapter turns to illicit streaming sites that circumvent geoblocking to operate within opaque transnational digital spaces. Through a cultural-industrial analysis that integrates archival materials and ethnographic fieldwork, the dissertation unsettles the boundaries between arthouse and commercial markets, as well as between industrial distribution infrastructures and grassroots exhibition activities, presenting a comprehensive understanding of Chinese cinema's global circulation.
