Former Cluster Director Prof. Rudolf Wagner gave a lecture entitled “The Last Stand of the Cultural Revolution: Film, Society, and Politics” at Hong Kong University, on June, 7. Wagner’s talk focused on the movie “Chunmiao” (directed by Xie Jinin in 1975), which stands for a movie genre dealing with the Cultural Revolution in China. During his talk, Wagner compared Chunmiao to its “rectification” in 1975, as also to the resulting development of various routines that were later incorporated into other movies.
