Prof. Li is the leader of the Chinese Cinematic knowledge system project, an initiative to use modern knowledge management systems to digitally map and understand the vast landscape of Chinese filmmaking and filmmakers. The Peking University Chinese Cinema Knowledge System (CCKS) refers to the university's comprehensive academic framework for studying Chinese film, integrating scholarly research, teaching programs (like summer schools focusing on modern fiction/film), and platforms for sharing knowledge, often using technology for digital humanities, emphasizing both historical context and contemporary issues like AI's impact on filmmaking, with a goal to provide a global, interdisciplinary understanding of Chinese cinema's artistic and cultural significance.  

This event is free and open to the public.
