Jia Zhangke's 24 City has helped generate interest in the links behind film and memory. [Provided to China Daily]

With the release of films such as Wang Bing's Fengming: A Chinese Memoir, Jia Zhangke's 24 City and Hu Jie's Though I Am Gone, there has been a growth of interest in the relationship between film, memory and the notion of witnessing in Chinese language cinema in recent years.

Guest speakers explore this trend in relation to work produced on the mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan and diasporic China through documentary filmmaking, fiction film and video art.

They include Chris Berry (Goldsmiths, University of London), Felicia Chan (University of Manchester and Chinese Film Forum UK), Ming-Yeh Rawnsley (University of Leeds), Julian Ward (University of Edinburgh), Wang Xiaolu (Beijing Film Academy and the Beijing New Youth Film Festival) and Lee Ming-Yu (University of Glasgow).

Memory and the Witness in Chinese Language Cinema has been jointly organized by the Department of Theater, Film and Television at the University of Glasgow and Ricefield Chinese Arts and Cultural Center as part of Takeaway China.

Date: Jan 28

Venue: Gilmorehill Center, Glasgow University
