Abstract

Mobile Screening as a typical watching and screening form is always neglected by mainstream film history. Some scholars affirm that it is a tool of political propaganda. This essay looks at mobile screenings in two areas, the Resistance Base and the Great Rear Area in China during wartime (from 1937 to 1945). It demonstrates specific screening activities and the audience’s receptions under the intertwined political discourses. On the one hand, mobile screening as a prime social education was used by two forces to accomplish their political purposes. On the other hand, political forces adopted different attitudes to mobile screening in economic plight. This article explores the interaction between political discourses and mobile screening in China during wartime by examining screened movies, watching experiences from the audience, film reviews, and a memoir.
