Movies - Eastern cinema


Eastern cinema (sometimes called Far Eastern cinema or Oriental cinema) is a broad term used in the Western world to refer to the film industry and films produced in, and/or by natives of, East Asia or the Far East. It can be seen as a sub-section of World cinema
, a cover-all term used to describe any foreign language films.

The term Eastern cinema particularly refers to the large and well established film industries of China, Hong Kong and Japan, and the growing industries in Taiwan, North Korea and South Korea. By definition the term also includes any film production within all countries in this region including Singapore, Malaysia, Mongolia, Vietnam and Thailand.

The scope is huge and takes in a wide array of different film styles from Hong Kong action cinema
to J-Horror
to Anime to Chinese comedies like Kung Fu Hustle
.

The term Asian cinema is sometimes used synonymously with Eastern cinema, particularly in the United States, although this is something of a misnomer, as it's even broader scope means it could equally apply to the movies produced throughout the rest of the continent, particularly the cinema of India including the enormous Bollywood
film industry.
