The 1934 silent movie "The Goddess" was made during a golden period for the Shanghai film industry, when its studios were the centre of Chinese-language cinematography. The film is one of several re-masterings that come as Beijing tries to extend its soft power by exporting Chinese culture around the world, and build a stronger movie industry able to compete internationally.
