Abstract
This multimodal essay utilizes the Semantic Annotation Tool (SAT), an open-source drop-in module, to create samples of time-based annotations for still photographs in Chinese films starring Ruan Lingyu. Exemplary films include Love and Duty (Lian’ai yu yiwu; 1931), The Peach Girl (Taohua qixue ji; 1931), and The New Women (Xin nüxing; completed in 1934, released in 1935), all produced by the United China (Lianhua) studio. It shows that the photograph is a motif across the three films, an object that oscillates between the screen world and the social world and a device that makes the viewer pensive. As an experimental attempt, it testifies to the ways in which close film analysis, archival research, and computational methods can be combined.
