Chinaphobia On Screen at the BFI – September 29, BFI, London

Chinaphobia On Screen at the BFI

An illustrated talk exploring problematic representations of Chinese people in British and American film

In this richly-illustrated talk, Christopher Frayling, cultural historian and acclaimed writer on film, draws on his forthcoming book The Yellow Peril: Dr Fu Manchu and the Rise of Chinaphobia to explore problematic representations of Chinese people in British and American film. Frayling’s talk offers a fascinating counterpart to our landmark season A Century of Chinese Cinema, and key context for serials such as Dr. Sin Fang (1928), recently added to BFI Player. Following his talk, Frayling will join others in a panel discusson to further explore the issues raised.
