Sun Mingjin and John Grierson, a Comparative Study of Early Chinese and British Documentary Film Movements
View through CrossRef
The name John Grierson (1898_1972) will certainly echo among historians of documentary film. Regardless of the controversial legacy Grierson left behind, his status as a film theorist, producer and the leading figure of the British Documentary Film Movement (1926-1948) is unquestionable.
While the name Grierson immediately brings us back to the early history of documentary filmmaking, the name Sun Mingjin (1911-1992) remains obscure. The little known Sun was actually a pioneer Chinese documentary filmmaker and educator with over a hundred film credits to his name.
