Summary
Narrative cinema wedded to ideas of realism, including Italian realism and social realism in India, would trace its origins to notions of the duration of various activities conjured by the Lumieres. Cinema is an example of a cultural product that spread around the world very quickly after it was first created. Under German occupation, French cinema was hemmed in on several fronts, including an exodus of French filmmakers to Hollywood, negotiations with censors, and an attempt by German authorities to destroy all films made before 1937. German New Cinema was characterized by a large contingent of women filmmakers whose association with feminism was somewhat varied. Helke Sanders organized the first feminist film conference in Germany. Satyajit Ray founded a film society in Calcutta in 1947 that showed the canonical works of Italian neo-realism. The Chinese-speaking woman clad in Indian costume is part of a dance troupe working in a theme park in Beijing.
