Abstract Utopian and dystopian narratives often abound in analyses of current processes of convergence and digitization of cinema. We argue that such analyses run the danger of amplifying the ruptures and discontinuities while ignoring continuities. In particular, the material, tangible and sociable dimension of film production and consumption ought to be included in (Chinese) cinema studies.
