Institutional and Technical Support
Video lectures were filmed by Dr. Jordan Levine of Transliminal Media. Production of the video lectures was funded with a grant from the UBC Dean of Arts office thanks to the support of Professor Rumee Ahmed, Associate Dean of Strategy & Innovation, UBC Faculty of Arts. Dr. Julie Wei assessed their effectiveness in several iterations of the UBC course ASIA 345: Chinese Film Classics. Website design assistance was provided by UBC Arts Instructional Support & Information Technology staff, including Leanna Chow, Andrew Chu, Angela Lam, Emma Novotny, Daniel Pugh, and Robin Xie.
The UBC Scholarly Publication Subvention Fund helped to offset production costs related to the book Chinese Film Classics, 1922-1949 (Columbia, 2021). Thanks to Jennifer Crewe, Christine Dunbar, Christian Winting, Kathryn Jorge, Caitlin Hurst at Columbia University Press; and to Ben Kolstad and Patricia Rea. Research and development was accelerated by a UBC study leave.
The C.V. Starr East Asian Library at the University of California, Berkeley granted permission for the reproduction and publication of images from the Paul Kendel Fonoroff Collection for Chinese Film Studies, both in the book and on this website. Special thanks to Head of Information and Public Services Susan Xue, Curator of Rare Books and Special Collections Deborah Rudolph, and Taylor Ovca.
