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.

Electricity has just suddenly ceased to exist, so the Suzuki family must now very quickly learn the art of survival: and facing a global blackout is not exactly a walk in the park! It's with the world screeching to a halt of the irresistible Japanese road movie Survival Family that the highly anticipated Far East Film Festival 19 opens: not just because Yaguchi Shinobu' s wonderful comedy is the festival's starting pistol on Friday the 21 st of April, but also for a question of symmetry: just like the blackout in Survival Family , the FEFF is an interruption .

  • Urban Space in the Films of Johnnie To*
    Concentric: Literary and Cultural Studies 46.1 March 2020: 59-81 DOI: 10.6240/concentric.lit.202003_46(1).0004 The Unexpected Encounter of Two Parallel Lines: Urban Space in the Films of Johnnie To* William Carroll Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures Indiana University Bloomington, USA Abstract In this paper the author compares Hong Kong filmmaker Johnnie To’s (杜琪 峯) formal articulation of urban space in his internationally celebrated crime films with that in his locally popular romantic comedies. Drawing from recent scholarship on urban space in Hong Kong, Chinese, and broader East Asian cinema, he establishes that To’s films in both genres hinge on spatial relationships that are specific to rapidly forming metropolises. However, through close analyses of the crime films Expect the Unexpected (非常突然 Feichang turan, 1998) and Breaking News (大事件 Da shijian, 2004) and the romantic comedies Turn Left, Turn Right (向左走‧向右走 Xiangzuo zou, xiangyou zou, 2003) and Don't Go Breaking My Heart (單身男女 Danshen nannu, 2011), he contends that To’s crime films depict these spatial relationships within a framework of spatial continuity, while his romantic comedies do so within a framework of spatial fragmentation. These two frameworks play into the two genres’ separate dramatic needs: fatalistic confrontation for the crime films vs. delayed reconciliation in the romantic comedies. However, To uses these spatial frameworks within the two genres to explore the ways that urban design can either thwart or facilitate encounters between the inhabitants of a global city. Keywords urban space, industrial genres, film genre, romantic comedies, crime films, spatial continuity, spatial fragmentation, fate, global cities * The author wishes to thank Matt Hubbell, Yueling Ji, Gary Kafer, Katerina Korola, Mikki Kressbach, David Krolokoski, Cooper Long, Nicole Morse, Jordan Schonig, H.S.

Hong Kong University Press is honoured that Xu Bing, whose art explores the complex themes of language across cultures, has written the Press’s name in his Square Word Calligraphy. This signals our commitment to cross-cultural thinking and the distinctive nature of our English-language books published in China. “At first glance, Square Word Calligraphy appears to be nothing more unusual than Chinese characters, but in fact it is a new way of rendering English words in the format of a square so they resemble Chinese characters. Chinese viewers expect to be able to read Square Word Calligraphy but cannot. Western viewers, however are surprised to find they can read it. Delight erupts when meaning is unexpectedly revealed.” — Britta Erickson, The Art of Xu Bing Contents List of Illustrations vii Acknowledgements xi 1.

Maybe in future years I format will be more flexible. Unfortunately, it has often been necessary to prise articles from unwilling contributors. This isa shame. especially as we do not desire the whole mechanism of the magazine to be operated by a smal nucleus of enthusiasts. Perhaps this, too, will improve. We have, however, enjoyed producing the magazine, and hope that you will receive equal pleasu from reading it.

Sometimes referred to as the post-1997 poet of Hong Kong, To has a career that actually goes back as far as the 1980s, and as one of the few directors to keep up a high output even after the local film industry started to decline, his CV now boasts close to 50 films.
