With a particular emphasis on how documentary films address the historico-political dimension of their time, this book introduces students and scholars in Film Studies to this fascinating and largely unexplored cinematic tradition.
Offers a comprehensive study of the lost genre of Hong Kong documentary film. This book introduces students and scholars in Film Studies to this unexplored cinematic tradition. It is based on original archival research.
Does Hong Kong have a significant tradition of documentary film-making?
Until recently, many film scholars believed not. Yet, when Ian Aitken and Michael Ingham challenged this assumption, they discovered a rich cinematic tradition dating back to the 1890s.
Under-researched and often forgotten, documentary film-making in Hong Kong includes a thriving independent documentary film movement, a large archive of documentaries made by the colonial film units, and a number of classic British official films. Case studies from all four categories are examined in this book, including The Battle of Shanghai, The Sea and the Sky, Rising Sun and The Hong Kong Case. In-depth discussion and analysis of more recent Hong Kong independent documentaries focuses on works such as Cheung King-wai''s KJ: Music and Life and films by Tammy Cheung and Evans Chan.
