| Sumario: | Does Hong Kong have a significant tradition in documentary filmmaking? 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.0Under-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 three categories are examined in this book, including ₃The battle of Shanghai₄, ₃The sea and the sky₄, ₃Rising sun₄ and ₃The Hong Kong case₄. In-depth discussion and analysis of more recent Hong Kong independent documentaries focuses on works such as Cheung King-wai's ₃KJ: A life in Music₄ and films by Tammy Cheung and Evans Chan.0With a particular focus on how these films address the historico-political dimension of their time, this book introduces students and scholars to this fascinating and largely unexplored cinematic tradition.0. |
