Description
Online access to transcripts of documentary films and newsreels from China, 1946(?)-1985. The bulk of the items are from the Cultural Revolution, 1966-1976; all documents are in Chinese. The 1,750 items were created by the Central Newsreel and Documentary Film Studio (Zhong yang xin wen ji lu dian ying zhi pian chang), a cinema company with nation-wide responsibilities based in Henan province. This online version is directly based upon a previously published microfilm set entitled The Chinese Filmscript and Advertisement Collection; the text images are of intermediate quality and not full-text searchable. The collection is arranged into four series: Advertisements and Film Description Series, 1953-1966; Documentary and Newsreel Scripts, 1946(?)-1985; Feature Filmscripts, undated; and Newspaper Clipping Scrapbook, 1950-1959. The original items are held at Duke University.
