"Asian Cinema: A Regional View is a turning point. It replaces the idea of Asian cinema as a set of national cinemas with a proliferation of transborder linkages across the region. Its chapters on regional co-productions,remakes,film festivals,streaming services,cinema archives and more will fundamentally change how we perceive Asian cinema.
