Abstract: The aim of this article is to analyse the current distribution dilemma of Chinese cinematic art films in terms of the production and distribution strategies of Jia Zhangke’s films. Jia Zhangke is a renowned sixth-generation Chinese director whose films have won numerous awards internationally, but have become non-mainstream in China. Most of his films could not be released in China mainland because of censorship policies. Through Jia Zhangke’s films, this paper will analyse the transnational development trends of Chinese art cinema from multiple perspectives, including the distribution strategies of Chinese art cinema and Chinese art cinema and national film policies, in the context of China’s national conditions and history.
