Produktbeschreibung

Hong Kong cinema is especially vibrant at present, and is very interestingly placed, with strong connections both to Hollywood, and to world and Asian regional markets. In addition, with the establishment of the Hong Kong Film Archive scholarly interest in the history and development of Hong Kong cinema has grown considerably in recent years. This book examines a wide range of aspects of Hong Kong cinema, and discusses the role of Hong Kong cinema in changing global film markets. It explores Hong Kong cinema's inextricable links with Southeast Asia, Korea, Japan, the United States, and the Chinese diaspora. It considers Hong Kong's connection with Hollywood, which involves ties that bring together art cinema and popular genres as well as film festivals and the media marketplace with popular transnational genres, and demonstrates how Hong Kong film, throughout its history, has challenged, redefined, expanded, and exceeded its borders.
