电影地理学, 空间转向, 地缘文化, 中国电影学派

Film geography, which emerged in the mid to late 1980s, has since accumulated a substantial body of literature including monographs, paper collections, introductions, and reviews. It has evolved into an emerging disciplinary branch primarily centered in European and American countries, focusing on the geographical dimensions of film media. This field primarily investigates the representation of space, place, and landscape in films, along with related discourse systems such as gender culture and geopolitics. It also examines the economic structures of film production and consumption, and their relationship with geographical reality. While China’s cross-disciplinary research combining film studies and geography began almost simultaneously with Western developments, its research focus differs significantly, demonstrating considerable autonomy and distinctiveness. In the current context of cultural exchange and mutual learning, these differences present rich opportunities for interaction, integration, and intellectual exchange.
