The Xinhua Film Company (simplified Chinese: 新华影业公司; traditional Chinese: 新華影業公司; pinyin: Xīnhuà yǐngyè gōngsī; literally "New China Films"), was one of the film companies to capitalize on the popularity of the leftist film movement in 1930s Shanghai, that had begun with the Mingxing and Lianhua Film Companies. It should not be mistaken for the modern-day Xinhua News Agency. The production company lasted from 1934 until 1942, when it was absorbed into a Japanese-controlled conglomerate, Zhonglian.
