The convergence of neoliberalism, institutionalization of pan-Chinese documentary films and the historical marginalization of women’s filmmaking in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the People’s Republic of China (PRC), respectively, have further perpetuated the marginalization of documentary films by local female filmmakers.

  • ATV, the Death of Television?
    Beat: News ATV, The Death of Television? Oldest Hong Kong TV channel closes! Hong Kong, 07.04.2016, 04:04 Time USPA NEWS - The recently “˜deceased´ Asia Television Limited (ATV) in Hong Kong was the first television studio in the city. Being able to witness the death of a television channel may be an once-in-a-lifetime event, but this brings up the interesting discussion of the role of television in the modern world. The recently “˜deceased´ Asia Television Limited (ATV) in Hong Kong was the first television studio in the city. Known as Rediffusion when it was formed just after the war, it initially only provided a radio service for four hours a day. In 1957, it became the world´s first Chinese television channel and the first indigenous television channel in the entire British Empire. A decade after its first broadcast, it was renamed ATV and formed a duopoly with TVB (Television Broadcasts Limited), the city´s other free-to-air channel. It is unmistakable that ATV has a résumé that´s hard to match, but what caused it fail after all these years? Over the many decades of its operations, ATV has changed hands several times, each time into a more pro-Beijing business. Many analysts on newspapers and other television studios alike have agreed that gross mismanagement was to blame; this included anything from introducing incompatible management techniques to airing some of the most unpopular shows in the history of the company. Some programs ATV offered we so unpopular that polls showed they only had a 1% viewership rate.
