Research Golden Harvest and the Generational Change in 1970s Hong Kong Cinema Po Fung The 1970s were a period of pivotal transitions in Hong Kong cinema. It was also the era of Golden Harvest, from its birth to becoming the main pillar of the film industry. In changing times, Golden Harvest had the flexibility to move with the times, but on the other hand its success came from it spearheading much of the change. Looking at the changes in the company itself, one can see some of significant movements in Hong Kong cinema back then. A New Crop of Homegrown Directors Founded in 1970, Golden Harvest released its debut production The Invincible Eight in 1971. Before The Big Boss hit the screens on 31 October, 1971, Golden Harvest’s productions and distributions include Lo Wei’s The Invincible Eight; Zatoichi and the One-Armed Swordsman, co-directed by Hsu Tseng-hung and Yasuda Kimiyoshi; Hsu Tseng-hung’s The Last Duel, Yip Wing-cho’s The Blade Spares None; Huang Feng’s The Angry River and The Fast Sword; Lo Wei’s The Comet Strikes; Wong Tin-lam’s The Chase; Hsu Tseng-hung’s The Invincible Sword and Law Chi’s Thunderbolt.1 On genre, these were all martial arts, or wuxia films from the ‘new wuxia era’ trend driven by the Shaw Brothers.

  • Contemporary Pan-Chinese Cinematic Urbanism in Taiwan and Hong Kong
    Contemporary Pan-Chinese Cinematic Urbanism in Taiwan and Hong Kong By Ying-Fen Chen A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Margaret L. Crawford, Chair Professor Greig Crysler Professor Weihong Bao Summer 2019 Abstract Contemporary Pan-Chinese Cinematic Urbanism in Taiwan and Hong Kong by Ying-Fen Chen Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture University of California, Berkeley Professor Margret L. Crawford, Chair After World War II, Chinese films shot in Taiwan and Hong Kong began to play a significant role constructing and disseminating images of Chinese culture and its urban environments to pan-Chinese regions of the world and beyond. To comprehend the relationship between those Chinese films and their urban settings, particularly in Taipei and Hong Kong, numerous scholars in the field of Chinese cinematic urbanism engaged in analyses of the highly aestheticized spatial representations in the films, as well as on the cultural negotiation of Chineseness within a context of political tension, and the issues arising from the rapid capitalization of Chinese cities. However, from the 1990s, the global popularity of Hollywood movies threatened the film industry both in Taiwan and Hong Kong. Concurrently, Mainland China rose in stature to supplant Taiwan and Hong Kong as the seat of political, economic, and cultural “Chineseness”. To respond to these changes, film industry executives in Taiwan and Hong Kong began to seek new ways to survive, sparking a process in which the relationship between cities and the film industries grew more complex.

  • CCS Film Screenings Fall 2015 "Cinema Taiwan—A Taste of Formosa"
    CCS Film Screenings Fall 2015 "Cinema Taiwan—A Taste of Formosa" This term's CCS Film Screenings are devoted to Taiwan. Focusing on five films that (re‐)defined Taiwanese cinema over the past fifty years, we hope to bring to you a programme ranging from martial arts to "healthy realism", from New Wave experimentalism to more commercial fare. We start the series with DRAGON INN by acclaimed martial arts auteur King Hu—the film was an enormous regional success in 1967 and inspired not just one, but two remakes by Hong Kong filmmaker Tsui Hark. Next we will watch a completely different film, Li Hsing's OYSTER GIRL (1964), which started the government‐sponsored "healthy realism" trend of the 1960s. These two films sketch for us the background against which we can better appreciate the great changes brought by filmmakers like Edward Yang and Hou Hsiao‐hsien in the 1980s Taiwanese New Cinema. We will watch the portmanteau film that launched this movement, IN OUR TIME (1982). The focus on Taiwanese auteurs is continued in the screening that follows, when we watch Tsai Ming‐liang's debut, REBELS OF THE NEON GOD (1992), a tale of urban alienation and troubled youth. We will conclude with a film that prefigures the recent trend of "artsy" entertainment coming from Taiwan, BLUE GATE CROSSING (2002)—noted at the time for its treatment of lesbian love in the familiar coming‐of‐age format. Screenings take place every two weeks on Wednesday (19:30) at Lecture Theatre 1 (LT1) of the Esther Lee Building (ELB).

  • Colonial Reminiscene, Japanophilia Trend, and Taiwanese Grassroots Imagination in Cape No. 7
    Concentric: Literary and Cultural Studies 36.1 March 2010: 79-117 Colonial Reminiscence, Japanophilia Trend, and Taiwanese Grassroots Imagination in Cape No. 7 Ivy I-chu Chang Foreign Languages and Literatures Department National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan Abstract In just two months after its debut in theaters on August 23, 2008, Cape No. 7 (海角七號) generated a whopping 450 million NTD in box office sales, pulling the Taiwanese cinema market out of the slump it had been stuck in for so long. This film brought adolescents which had nearly abandoned the Taiwanese cinema scene flocking back to the theaters. From August to October, viewing Cape No. 7 became a national pastime for web citizens. This paper will investigate the film and its social and cultural phenomena from three directions: First, the cultural transference between Taiwan’s Colonial Reminiscence and the Japanophilia Trend in the wake of glocalization. If we said that Cape’s cultural phenomena and trend are due to the interactive course and a cultural imagination stirred up by complementary works in and out of the movie, rousing the furthest depths of the Taiwanese unconscious, we should try to enlarge the scope of space-time and investigate the following under a globalization frame: how does director Wei De-Sheng utilize cinematic symbols to link together the Taiwanese older generation’s nostalgia, the younger generation’s fetishes, and Japanophilia? How do we illustrate the complex cultural ambivalence present between Taiwan and ex-colonizing nation Japan through film symbols and camerawork that belong in a post-modern time-space compressed environment? Second, post-modern simulacrum and the cultural phenomena of Cape No.

When Wang strikes gold by winning the lottery, just as predicted, the celebratory mood is soon eclipsed by the reminder that Liu’s death also has been forecast. With his newfound wealth, Wang decides to reward his dying buddy with the trip of a lifetime. Carrying around a suitcase full of cash, the working-class twosome embark on a road trip around the beautiful island of Taiwan.
