Abstract: In recent years，building Chinese school of film studies has become an unprecedented academic boom in the circle of Chinese film studies. A small event in the waves of seeking Chinese discourse power in the field of humanities and social sciences since the new era，building Chinese school of film studies 
reflects a discernible role of the state will，given the particularity and importance of films in the cultural industry and ideological dimension. It can be said that the “anxiety of interpretation” by the state will and the anxiety of influence from the academic self-consciousness resonate with each other，thus advancing and forming the problem consciousness of building Chinese school of film studies. However，the nature of “school” determines this grand conception and innovation project must be built on the basis of the individual creations and the consensus of academic community，which is the right way of academic development. The premise of following the internal law of academic development is to clarify the boundary between politics and learning. The advice of Weber will undoubtedly bring us sober reflections on the upsurge in building Chinese school of film studies.

Key words: state will, academic self-consciousness, Chinese school of film studies
