Bamcinématek Presents a Brand New 40Th Anniversary Restoration of Robert Clouse’S Enter the Dragon, Starring Bruce Lee, in a Week-Long Run, Aug 30—Sep 5
BAMcinématek presents a brand new 40th anniversary restoration of Robert Clouse’s Enter the Dragon, starring Bruce Lee, in a week-long run, Aug 30—Sep 5 Series sidebar features five wing chun classics including Sammo Hung’s The Prodigal Son, Chang Cheh’s Invincible Shaolin, and Bruce Lee’s The Way of the Dragon, beginning Aug 29 “Bruce Lee was the Fred Astaire of martial arts.”—Pauline Kael, The New Yorker The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. Brooklyn, NY/Aug 7, 2013—From Friday, August 30 through Thursday, September 5, BAMcinématek presents a week-long run of Robert Clouse’s Enter the Dragon, screening in a new DCP restoration for its 40th anniversary. In conjunction with the release of Wong Kar-wai’s Ip Man biopic The Grandmaster, this series revels in the lightning-fast moves of the revered kung fu tradition known as wing chun, featuring a five-film sidebar of martial arts rarities. Passed on through generations of martial artists, wing chun was popularized by icons like Sammo Hung and Ip’s movie-star disciple Bruce Lee—and has become an action movie mainstay. The first Chinese martial arts movie to be produced by a major Hollywood studio, Clouse’s Enter the Dragon features Bruce Lee in his final role before his untimely death (just six days before the film’s theatrical release). Shaolin master Mr. Lee (Lee) is recruited to infiltrate the island of sinister crime lord Mr. Han by going undercover as a competitor in a kung fu tournament. -
1 Cycle Cinéma Chinois De L'écrit À L'écran 6Ème Saison
Institut Confucius de l'université Paris Diderot en collaboration avec le Centre de documentation sur le cinéma chinois de Paris Cycle cinéma chinois De l’écrit à l’écran 6ème saison Programme de l’année 2015-2016 Présentation Cette 6ème édition du cycle ‘De l’écrit à l’écran’ est placée sous le signe de la transmission du patrimoine culturel, thème du film de Wu Tianming en ouverture du programme : c’est également l’une des préoccupations qui anime ce cycle. La première partie du programme est consacrée, justement, à des grands films méconnus du patrimoine cinématographique chinois, en commençant par deux classiques rares des années 1950 et 1960 : - un film de 1956 qui revisite le grand roman de Ba Jin qu’est « Famille » ; - et un film de 1962 consacré à Li Shuangshuang, modeste mais enthousiaste héroïne du Grand Bond en avant. Toujours dans les années 1960, le programme met ensuite en valeur deux aspects de l’œuvre d’un cinéaste aussi brillant que prolifique dont on parle peu aujourd’hui, mais qui a exercé une énorme influence sur les réalisateurs chinois, de son temps et ultérieurs : Li Han-hsiang, dans la transcription usuelle de son nom. Le premier des deux films est en outre l’une des meilleures adaptations à cette heure d’un conte du Liaozhai, ce qui permettra d’aborder l’œuvre de Pu Songling. L’actualité nous fournira par ailleurs l’occasion de rendre hommage à l’une des grandes actrices du cinéma chinois des années 1950 et 1960 : Li Lihua. Un prix lui sera en effet décerné en novembre au festival du Golden Horse pour l’ensemble de sa carrière, et le CDCC, qui a des copies uniques de certains de ses films, est heureux de se joindre à cet hommage avec l’un de ses meilleurs rôles, dans un film qui est de surcroît l’une des nombreuses adaptations de la célèbre histoire de l’Orphelin des Zhao. -

La période a connu un rétablis- sement économique et la consécration de plusieurs cinéastes dont la carrière est née durant les années 1990, sans compter la naissance d’une nouvelle génération d’auteurs. PERSISTANCE DE LA NOUVELLE VAGUE Notre sélection rend hommage à la créativité persistante des cinéastes de Hong Kong et au mariage improbable de deux tendances complémentaires : l’ambitieuse Nouvelle Vague artistique et le film d’action des années 1980. Bien qu’elle soit exclue de notre sélection, il est utile d’insister sur le fait que la production chinoise 20 ANS / FILMS KONG, HONG de cinéastes et de vedettes originaires de Hong Kong, tels que Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen, Stephen Chow et Tsui Hark, continue à caracoler en tête du box-office chinois. Les deux films Journey to the West avec Stephen Chow (le deuxième réalisé par Tsui Hark) et La Sirène (avec Stephen Chow également) ont connu un immense succès en République Populaire. Ils n’auraient pas été possibles sans l’œuvre antérieure de leurs auteurs, sans la souplesse formelle qui caractérise le cinéma de Hong Kong. L’histoire et l’avenir de l’industrie hongkongaise se lit clairement dans la carrière d’un pionnier de la Nouvelle Vague, Tsui Hark, qui a rodé son savoir-faire en matière d’effets spéciaux d’arts martiaux dans ses premières productions télévisuelles et cinématographiques à Hong Kong durant les années 70 et 80. -

Warriors As the Feminised Other
Warriors as the Feminised Other The study of male heroes in Chinese action cinema from 2000 to 2009 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chinese Studies at the University of Canterbury by Yunxiang Chen University of Canterbury 2011 i Abstract ―Flowery boys‖ (花样少年) – when this phrase is applied to attractive young men it is now often considered as a compliment. This research sets out to study the feminisation phenomena in the representation of warriors in Chinese language films from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China made in the first decade of the new millennium (2000-2009), as these three regions are now often packaged together as a pan-unity of the Chinese cultural realm. The foci of this study are on the investigations of the warriors as the feminised Other from two aspects: their bodies as spectacles and the manifestation of feminine characteristics in the male warriors. This study aims to detect what lies underneath the beautiful masquerade of the warriors as the Other through comprehensive analyses of the representations of feminised warriors and comparison with their female counterparts. It aims to test the hypothesis that gender identities are inventory categories transformed by and with changing historical context. Simultaneously, it is a project to study how Chinese traditional values and postmodern metrosexual culture interacted to formulate Chinese contemporary masculinity. It is also a project to search for a cultural nationalism presented in these films with the examination of gender politics hidden in these feminisation phenomena. With Laura Mulvey‘s theory of the gaze as a starting point, this research reconsiders the power relationship between the viewing subject and the spectacle to study the possibility of multiple gaze as well as the power of spectacle. -

Studies in Media and Communication Vol. 4, No. 2; December 2016 ISSN 2325-8071 E-ISSN 2325-808X Published by Redfame Publishing URL: http://smc.redfame.com Remediating the Star Body: Donnie Yen’s Kung Fu Persona in Hypermedia Dorothy Wai-sim Lau1 113/F, Hong Kong Baptist University Shek Mun Campus, 8 On Muk Street, Shek Mun, Shatin, Hong Kong Correspondence: Dorothy Wai-sim Lau, 13/F, Hong Kong Baptist University Shek Mun Campus, 8 On Muk Street, Shek Mun, Shatin, Hong Kong. Received: September 18, 2016 Accepted: October 7, 2016 Online Published: October 24, 2016 doi:10.11114/smc.v4i2.1943 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11114/smc.v4i2.1943 Abstract Latest decades have witnessed the proliferation of digital media in Hong Kong action-based genre films, elevating the graphical display of screen action to new levels. While digital effects are tools to assist the action performance of non-kung fu actors, Dragon Tiger Gate (2006), a comic-turned movie, becomes a case-in-point that it applies digitality to Yen, a celebrated kung fu star who is famed by his genuine martial dexterity. In the framework of remediation, this essay will explore how the digital media intervene of the star construction of Donnie Yen. As Dragon Tiger Gate reveals, technological effects work to refashion and repurpose Yen’s persona by combining digital effects and the kung fu body. While the narrative of pain and injury reveals the attempt of visual immediacy, the hybridized bodily representation evokes awareness more to the act of representing kung fu than to the kung fu itself. -
