Cinema at the City's Edge: Film and Urban Networks in East Asia

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments This volume is the outcome of a conference held at the University of Washington inApril 2006. The conference was made possible by generous grants from the East Asia Center and the Institute for Transnational Studies at the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies and the Simpson Center for the Humanities at the University of Washington. We are grateful to the staff at these centers, and especially to Miriam Bartha, Kristi Roundtree, and Kathleen Woodward, for their help in securing and facilitating these grants. We have been very lucky to work with a forthcoming team at Hong Kong University Press, first with Colin Day and Ian Lok, and then with Dennis Cheung, Michael Duckworth, Dawn Lau, and the two anonymous readers. Their attention and patience have made this book much better. We are most indebted to the contributors to this volume and to the other participants in the conference, whose feedback has enriched the essays published here: Robert Chi, Kyung Hyun Kim, Helen Hok-Sze Leung, Lin Wenchi, and Michael Raine, as well as our colleagues from Cinema Studies and East Asian Studies at the University of Washington who attended the conference. ...
