The editor gave a conference in 1994 titled "Rethinking Cross-Cultural Analysis and Chinese Cinema Studies," delivered at the University of Pittsburgh.[2] The articles of the book were previously published elsewhere, with most of them originating from that conference. The articles were written by people specializing in different academic fields.[3]
Robert Ru-Shou Chen of National Taiwan College of Art wrote that the book is "a valuable book in updating our study of" the subject matter.[4]
Stanley Rosen of the University of Southern California praised the book for minimizing issues he saw in academic essay compilations stemming from academic conferences.[3]
