Abstract

As the first Tibetan director in China and also a writer and screenwriter, Wan Ma Caidan has created and produced many excellent films about Tibetan culture and beliefs. His films have largely filled the gap in Tibetan culture in the Chinese film industry, and have also given the Chinese film industry, which mainly focuses on Han Chinese stories, a more diverse and rich ethnic identity. But at the same time, what Wan Ma Cai Dan’s movies tell also breaks through the limitations of ethnicity and region. This article analyzes the film visuals of mainland director Wan Ma Caidan and studies how their composition and color are combined with poetic and freehand brushwork in modern Chinese art films. The final conclusion is that the differences in audio-visual language expression and lens aesthetics in films of different ethnic cultures are influenced by ethnic cultures and living environments. And in the context of the prevalence of new media, explore the new development of traditional art films in China.
