Kampfszene 1933
Stummfilm, China.

Im Bioscope-Blog gibt es eine kurze Geschichte des chinesischen Stummfilm-Kinos, DVD- und Literaturangaben inklusive. (Auch der Hinweis auf zwei der Filme, die im Internet Archive zu sehen sind.) Kurzer Auszug aus dem Text:

Production was often dominated by Leftist concerns (particularly those from Lianhua), concentrating on the struggles of ordinary people and contemporary, patriotic concerns. Examples include Xiao Wanyi (Little Toys) (1933) directed by Sun Yu (above) and Bugao Cheng’s Chu Can (Spring Silkworms) (1933). Nevertheless the films were chiefly consumed by a middle-class which valued glossy production values that showed the strong influence of American cinema. Classic melodramas, often with suffering central female figure, include The Goddess (Shen nu) (1934) and Tianming (Daybreak) (1933). These differences in production reflected the political tension of the period, with the growing differences between Chiang Kai-shek’s nationalist Kuomintang and the Communists. Anti-Japanese rhetoric also characterised a number of the films.
