Synopsis of Research in Shanghai: February 5 - April 6

Zhen Zhang plans to use the time and resources at NYU Shanghai to complete the final stage of work for the large-scale volume, Routledge Companion to Asian Cinemas, for which she serves as the commissioned editor-in-chief. Zhang also plans to spend part of the stay on her own ongoing book project, The Orphan Imagination in Sinophone Film History and a creative mixed media project on family archive as collective memory. In addition to library research and media archiving/preservation (availing the IMA resources on campus), Zhang plans to meet local film scholars and filmmakers for the volume and book projects, and interview family members and friends for the creative project, and composing some section drafts.
