From 2010 to 2019, China’s film industry experienced the fastest growth in history. Along with its rapid growth, numerous opportunities and problems emerged in the industry, which are addressed by a series of film policies issued by China’s government. This dissertation aims to study the dynamic relationship between the development of China’s film industry and the evolution of China’s film policy. By bridging the theory of Punctuated Equilibrium Theory and the concepts of competitiveness and cultural entrepreneurship, this dissertation focuses on exploring the policy process and policy system of the film in China, which are demonstrated by evidence of policy changes and industry changes. Supported by secondary data collected from multiple sources and first-hand data collected through semi-structured interviews with twenty film professionals, this case study enables an in-depth analysis of China’s film policy process at the national level, the competition and mutual interests between large film enterprises and small and medium-sized film enterprises at the industry level, and the firm strategy and feedback at the organizational level. The findings from the multi-level analysis indicate a dynamic relationship between the policy change and industry change of film in China, where the subsystem plays an intermediate role bridging the government and the film industry. Large film enterprises and small and medium-sized film enterprises share mutual interests, while they participate in the film policy process to different degrees. China’s film policy enables film enterprises to perform entrepreneurial practices for innovation and financial sustainability, and its focus shifts in different conditions. Policy implications for film professionals and film policymakers are discussed, and recommendations are proposed for the sustainable growth of China’s film industry.
