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.

The situation is both more interesting and more complicated.’ — Ackbar Abbas, Hong Kong Culture and the Politics of Disappearance ‘Yet many of Hong Kong’s most accomplished fi lms were made in the years after the 1993 downturn. Directors had become more sophisticated, and perhaps fi nancial desperation freed them to experiment … The golden age is over; like most local cinemas, Hong Kong’s will probably consist of a small annual output and a handful of fi lms of artistic interest.

Despite the break from Maoism following the fall of the Gang of Four and Deng Xiaoping’s movement towards capitalist modernization, the brutal events of Tiananmen Square caused great concern for a territory facing many changes in the near future. Even before these disturbing events Hong Kong’s imminent return to a motherland with a different dialect and social customs evoked insecurity on the part of a population still remembering the violent events of the Cultural Revolution as well as the Maoist- inspired riots that affected the colony in 1967.

    Humanity 2012 Papers. ~~~~~~ “‘We are all the same, we are all unique’: The paradox of using individual celebrity as metaphor for national (transnational) identity.” Joyleen Christensen University of Newcastle Introduction: This paper will examine the apparently contradictory public persona of a major star in the Hong Kong entertainment industry - an individual who essentially redefined the parameters of an industry, which is, itself, a paradox. In the last decades of the 20th Century, the Hong Kong entertainment industry's attempts to translate American popular culture for a local audience led to an exciting fusion of cultures as the system that was once mocked by English- language media commentators for being equally derivative and ‘alien’, through translation and transmutation, acquired a unique and distinctively local flavour. My use of the now somewhat out-dated notion of East versus West sensibilities will be deliberate as it reflects the tone of contemporary academic and popular scholarly analysis, which perfectly seemed to capture the essence of public sentiment about the territory in the pre-Handover period. It was an explicit dichotomy, with commentators frequently exploiting the notion of a culture at war with its own conception of a national identity. However, the dwindling Western interest in Hong Kong’s fate after 1997 and the social, economic and political opportunities afforded by the reunification with Mainland China meant that the new millennia saw Hong Kong's so- called ‘Culture of Disappearance’ suddenly reconnecting with its true, original self. Humanity 2012 11 Alongside this shift I will track the career trajectory of Andy Lau – one of the industry's leading stars1 who successfully mimicked the territory's movement in focus from Western to local and then regional.

  • Hong Kong Filmmakers Search: Eric TSANG
    Eric TSANG 曾志偉（b. 1953.4.14） Actor, Director, Producer A native of Wuhua, Guangdong, Tsang was born in Hong Kong. He had a short stint as a professional soccer player before working as a martial arts stuntman at Shaw Brothers Studio along with Sammo Hung. In 1974, he followed Lau Kar-leung’s team to join Chang Cheh’s film company in Taiwan, and returned to Hong Kong in 1976. Tsang then worked as screenwriter and assistant director for Lau Kar-leung, Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan in companies such as Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest. Introduced to Karl Maka by Lau, Tsang and Maka co-wrote the action comedy Dirty Tiger, Crazy Frog! in 1978. Tsang made his directorial debut next year with The Challenger (1979). In 1980, Tsang was invited by Maka to join Cinema City. He became a member of the ‘Team of Seven’, participating in story creation. He soon directed the record shattering Aces Go Places (1982) and Aces Go Places II (1983), while he also produced a number of movies that explored different filmmaking approaches, including the thriller He Lives by Night (1982), Till Death Do We Scare (1982), which applied western style make-up and special effects, and the fresh comedy My Little Sentimental Friend (1984). Tsang left Cinema City in 1985 and became a pivotal figure in Hung’s Bo Ho Films. He was the associate producer for such films as Mr. Vampire (1985) and My Lucky Stars (1985). In 1987, Tsang co-founded Alan & Eric Films Co. Ltd. with Alan Tam and Teddy Robin.

  • Election (18) 黑社會 MON 21 MAR, 18:10 Dir Johnnie To/2005 HK/100
    Election (18) 黑社會 MON 21 MAR, 18:10 Dir Johnnie To/2005 HK/100 mins/Cantonese, Mandarin, English with Chinese and English subtitles/ Simon Yam, Leung Ka-fai, Louis Koo, Nick Cheung Johnnie To entered the Hong Kong film industry in the late 1980s after a short career in television and quickly rose to fame as a director of great flexibility. To works out of his own production studio, Milkyway Image, which he established in 1996 with his long time collaborator Wai Ka-fai. While the rest of the industry slowed down amid the social and economic anxiety surrounding the handover to China in 1997, To continued creating films at an alarming pace: directing and producing 33 between 1997 and Election's release in 2005. He became known internationally during this time for his contemplative and morally ambiguous crime films that have earned frequent comparisons to French cinema and the work of director Jean-Pierre Melville but within Hong Kong To is equally well known for his diverse commercial productions from unbeatable rom-coms like Needing You... (2000) to the unique Buddhist-murder-mystery, Running on Karma (2003). To's footing in Hong Kong's popular cinema is evident in Election through its star-studded cast. The calm and collected Lok, vying for his place as chairman of the triad, is played by Simon Yam. Yam began his film career in the late 1980s as a regular player in Hong Kong's “Category III” exploitation movies and, thanks in part to his roles in Johnnie To films, was one of many to find crossover success in the mainstream film industry during the 1990s.
