Speech Introduction: In the 1920s and 1930s, Shanghai became a dynamic metropolis, blending Western influences with traditional Chinese culture and creating a unique urban atmosphere. This fusion of ideas and aesthetics shaped every aspect of city life, especially cinema, which was pivotal in expressing and influencing this cultural combination.

Gu Si-Yang examines films from this era that captured the tensions between tradition and progress, offering a window into a society’s hopes, struggles, and aspirations on the verge of transformation. This speech delves deeper into these cinematic and cultural developments, exploring their lasting impact on Shanghai and the broader trajectory of Chinese modernity.

★Gu Si-Yang: Gu Si-Yang has devoted a significant portion of his academic career to the study of modern and contemporary Chinese art history, cultural policy and ideology. He holds a Bachelor of Fine Art from Griffith University and a Bachelor of Fine Art with Honours from the University of New South Wales in Australia. He subsequently completed a Master of Arts in Art History at the University of Sussex in the United Kingdom and is currently a doctoral candidate at Queen’s University Belfast in the United Kingdom.
