The Library is offering trial access to Chinese Film and Newsreel Scripts from the Cultural Revolution Online, a primary source collection containing transcripts of documentary films and newsreels from China in the 1950s to 1970s. Many of these films were produced by the China Central Newsreel and Documentary Film Studio and served as mass media and communication channels during the period. As relatively few scripts have been preserved, partly due to the quality of printing paper used at the time, the database may be useful for research on modern Chinese history, media, and society.
The collection provides materials related to Chinese documentary film and newsreel history, covering various aspects of social activities, with reference to the construction of a socialist country and the Cultural Revolution period (1966–1976).
Highlights include:
· Transcripts of documentary films and newsreels from the Cultural Revolution period (1966–1976)
· Materials covering the 1950s to the 1970s, a period when newsreels and documentary films were commonly used as mass media in China
· Productions associated with the China Central Newsreel and Documentary Film Studio
· Content relating to social activities and the construction of a socialist country
· Chinese-language pages for consultation and original-language research
