An Encounter with HK Films Never Shown in HK Hong Kong Filmography IV (1953-1959), in separate Chinese and English versions, will be published before the end of this year. Film archiving has its way of bringing surprises, big or small, especially when different thematic projects give one the perfect excuse to indulge oneself in different terrains. Seeing the close tie formed between the Hong Kong film industry and its overseas market in Southeast Asia, the research work on the Hong Kong Filmography series has long crossed over to the Chinese press in Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand. Volume IV contains Amoy and Chaozhou-dialects films made for Southeast Asian market which have never been released in Hong Kong. The missing information, therefore, has to be filled solely with these overseas Chinese papers. To say the whole process is nerve-racking is probably an understatement. Imagine the intricacy to distinguish the same film released under a different title, or an apparent Chaozhou-dialect film turns out to be the Jekyll and Hyde of an old Cantonese film, camouflaged by dubbing... Deducting the re-releases and you have a list of Chaozhou, Amoy and Mandarin films which somehow never made it to the local cinemas... Amoy-dialect films bloomed in late 1950s, making a Many Chaozhou-dialect films draw their stories star of the newcomer Xiao Juan (right). Yes, she's from Chaozhou operas and folktales.
