Chinese Cinema

A staple of Chinese cinema is the historical television drama, many of which are filmed in one of the studio cities in Wuxi, which were built expressly for this purpose. The following student video and images give a good overall impression of the details and themes to be found in Wuxi's studio cities. These media are part of the research done by students during their time in Wuxi and Zhujiajiao.

A video tour of the studio cities (3MB).
