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.

Hong Kong 20 Ans / 20 Films Rétrospective 20 Septembre - 11 Octobre
HONG KONG 20 ANS / 20 FILMS RÉTROSPECTIVE 20 SEPTEMBRE - 11 OCTOBRE À L’OCCASION DU 20e ANNIVERSAIRE DE LA RÉTROCESSION DE HONG KONG À LA CHINE CO-PRÉSENTÉ AVEC CREATE HONG KONG 36Infernal affairs CREATIVE VISIONS : HONG KONG CINEMA, 1997 – 2017 20 ANS DE CINÉMA À HONG KONG Avec la Cinémathèque, nous avons conçu une programmation destinée à célé- brer deux décennies de cinéma hongkongais. 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.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RICHMOND HILL: IP MAN 2 ### RICHMOND HILL WELCOMES REEL ASIAN: IP MAN 2 HONG KONG’S HIGHEST GROSSING FILM IN 2010 Toronto, September 13, 2010 – The Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival (Reel Asian) is proud to include the community of Richmond Hill in their fall festival for the first time ever. In partnership with The Reel Thing, Reel Asian will co-present the premiere of Hong Kong’s highest grossing film released in the first half of 2010, martial arts blockbuster IP MAN 2 (葉問 2). IP MAN 2 tells the story of Ip Man, champion of the Wing Chun martial arts style and master of Bruce Lee. After saving the southern city of Fo Shan from Japanese invaders in the first film, Ip Man (Donnie Yen) returns and relocates to Hong Kong, which is under British colonial rule. His desire to open a new martial arts school and live peacefully with his family is put to the test when he is confronted by the other Wushu Masters, including Master Hung (Sammo Hung 洪金寶 ) who has been collecting protection fees and sharing the profits with a corrupt British officer. When the officer decides to host the “King of Boxing Competition”, East meets West, racial tensions flare and the reputation of Wushu is at stake. Ultimately, the pride of the Chinese people once again falls in the hands of Master Ip and we are reminded of the legend who advocated for the harmonious principles of the art form. Actor Donnie Yen Donnie Yen (甄子丹 ) is an actor, action choreographer, director and producer.
