"Locating Taiwan Cinema in the Twenty-First Century" is a book edited by Paul G. Pickowicz and Yingjin Zhang that offers a reconsideration of Taiwan film in the context of the "Post New Wave" revival of Taiwan's domestic film industry. The book's chapters aim to disentangle innovative new work from the New Wave legacy and situate it within the unique geocultural, thematic, and aesthetic contexts of today's Taiwan. The book is organized into four sections that focus on geopolitics, genre, intermediality, and sociopolitical issues, and it offers a range of fresh perspectives on twenty-first-century Taiwan film. While the book could have further diversified the films and filmmakers addressed, it is praised for including the work of graduate students alongside well-established scholars.
