    Development of the Global Film Industry The global film industry has witnessed significant transformations in the past few years. Regions outside the USA have begun to prosper while non-traditional produc- tion companies such as Netflix have assumed a larger market share and online movies adapted from literature have continued to gain in popularity. How have these trends shaped the global film industry? This book answers this question by analyzing an increasingly globalized business through a global lens. Development of the Global Film Industry examines the recent history and current state of the business in all parts of the world. While many existing studies focus on the internal workings of the industry, such as production, distribution and screening, this study takes a “big picture” view, encompassing the transnational integration of the cultural and entertainment industry as a whole, and pays more attention to the coordinated develop- ment of the film industry in the light of influence from literature, television, animation, games and other sectors. This volume is a critical reference for students, scholars and the public to help them understand the major trends facing the global film industry in today’s world. Qiao Li is Associate Professor at Taylor’s University, Selangor, Malaysia, and Visiting Professor at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon- Sorbonne. He has a PhD in Film Studies from the University of Gloucestershire, UK, with expertise in Chinese- language cinema. He is a PhD supervisor, a film festival jury member, and an enthusiast of digital filmmaking with award- winning short films. He is the editor ofMigration and Memory: Arts and Cinemas of the Chinese Diaspora (Maison des Sciences et de l’Homme du Pacifique, 2019).

  • Chris Ham CBE, FRCP (Honorary), Fmedsci, FRSM, Phd, Mphil, BA
    Gabriel Leung Biography My research focuses on synthesising best, current evidence for high-impact public health issues in Hong Kong and other East Asian populations. An interdisciplinary character underpins this research programme drawing on methods from clinical medicine, epidemiology, decision science and health economics. Currently funded projects include:- 1) extending and integrating paediatric epidemiology with lifecourse epidemiology in the rapidly transitioning populations of Hong Kong and Guangzhou; 2) developing a focused research programme in infectious disease epidemiology with particular reference to influenza and SARS; 3) understanding secular changes in breast and cervical cancer rates through statistical modelling and evaluating associated screening strategies through cost-effectiveness analyses; 4) maintaining Hong Kong's Domestic Health Accounts, projecting total health expenditure in the medium term and examining vertical and horizontal equity in health care financing and utilisation. I believe strongly in underpinning public health practice and advocacy by original research. I translate and apply findings from my research programme through cross appointments at the Department of Health and Hospital Authority as well as serving on a number of advisory committees at the Health, Welfare and Food Bureau, Centre for Health Protection and the Hong Kong College of Community Medicine. As a Fulbright Scholar, I trained in health policy and management at Harvard University and returned on sabbatical in 2005 as Takemi Fellow in International Health. I earned a higher research doctorate from the University of Hong Kong, majoring in paediatric epidemiology and health services research. I am a medical graduate of the University of Western Ontario and completed specialty residency in family medicine at the University of Toronto.
