Summary: One of the best ways of getting to know a place is to look at its movies – its entertainments and its art films. Mark Cousins is one of our Capital’s most successful film writers, producers and directors and is therefore best placed to give us an insight into this genre of the visual arts and how it reflects a country and its people. In 1991 he began a five year collaboration with the Edinburgh Film Festival. First as a programmer, then as Director – and together with a great team – he reworked the event, scrapping existing programme categories and inventing Scene by Scene. He is Chair of Scottish Kids are Making Movies and continues to be actively involved in the film industry. This lecture will explore the Chinese nation and its people through cinema.
