    CAAMFest 2014 Honors Two Film Production Pioneers: Joseph Sunn Jue and Run Run Shaw SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13, 2014 — The Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) is excited to showcase two pioneers from Asian and Asian American film history: Joseph Sunn Jue and Run Run Shaw. Legendary Chinese American producer Joseph Sunn Jue formed the Grandview Film Company in San Francisco in 1933. It was the only operating Chinese American motion picture company in the United States during the 1930s. With the help of the Hong Kong Film Archive, CAAMFest 2014 will present two of seven surviving Grandview productions for the first time in 67 years. Run Run Shaw is one of the most influential figures in the Asian entertainment industry. The Hong Kong mogul and movie producer was also a philanthropist who donated billions to charities in his lifetime and also founded Shaw Brothers Studios. On January 7, 2014, Shaw passed away at the age of 106. CAAM pays tribute to his legacy with a screening of three of his studio’s spectacular cinematic creations. CAAM is pleased to present these films at the Great Star Theater, Chinatown’s last remaining film theater which showed the early works of Run Run Shaw. OUT OF THE VAULTS: REDISCOVERING GRANDVIEW FILMS CAAMFest’s Out of the Vaults showcases films ripe for rediscovery. This year’s presentation highlights Joseph Sunn Jue and his Grandview Film Company.

    Heightening Sense of Crises over Press Freedom in Hong Kong: Advancing “Shrinkage” 20 Years after Returning to China April 2018 YAMADA Ken-ichi NHK Broadcasting Culture Research Institute Media Research & Studies _____________________________ *This article is based on the same authors’ article Hong Kong no “Hodo no Jiyu” ni Takamaru Kikikan ~Chugoku Henkan kara 20nen de Susumu “Ishuku”~, originally published in the December 2017 issue of “Hoso Kenkyu to Chosa [The NHK Monthly Report on Broadcast Research]”. Full text in Japanese may be accessed at http://www.nhk.or.jp/bunken/research/oversea/pdf/20171201_7.pdf 1 Introduction Twenty years have passed since Hong Kong was returned to China from British rule. At the time of the 1997 reversion, there were concerns that Hong Kong, which has a laissez-faire market economy, would lose its economic vigor once the territory is put under the Chinese Communist Party’s one-party rule. But the Hong Kong economy has achieved generally steady growth while forming closer ties with the mainland. However, new concerns are rising that the “One Country, Two Systems” principle that guarantees Hong Kong a different social system from that of China is wavering and press freedom, which does not exist in the mainland and has been one of the attractions of Hong Kong, is shrinking. On the rankings of press freedom compiled by the international journalists’ group Reporters Without Borders, Hong Kong fell to 73rd place in 2017 from 18th in 2002.1 This article looks at how press freedom has been affected by a series of cases in the Hong Kong media that occurred during these two decades, in line with findings from the author’s weeklong field trip in mid-September 2017.

  • Introduction
    introduction The disembodied voices of bygone songstresses course through the soundscapes of many recent Chinese films that evoke the cultural past. In a mode of retro- spection, these films pay tribute to a figure who, although rarely encountered today, once loomed large in the visual and acoustic spaces of popu lar music and cinema. The audience is invited to remember the familiar voices and tunes that circulated in these erstwhile spaces. For instance, in a film by the Hong Kong director Wong Kar- wai set in the 1960s, In the Mood for Love, a traveling businessman dedicates a song on the radio to his wife on her birthday.1 Along with the wife we listen to “Hua yang de nianhua” (“The Blooming Years”), crooned by Zhou Xuan, one of China’s most beloved singers of pop music. The song was originally featured in a Hong Kong production of 1947, All- Consuming Love, which cast Zhou in the role of a self- sacrificing songstress.2 Set in Shang- hai during the years of the Japa nese occupation, the story of All- Consuming Love centers on the plight of Zhou’s character, who is forced to obtain a job as a nightclub singer to support herself and her enfeebled mother-in- law after her husband leaves home to join the resis tance. “The Blooming Years” refers to these recent politi cal events in a tone of wistful regret, expressing the home- sickness of the exile who yearns for the best years of her life: “Suddenly this orphan island is overshadowed by miseries and sorrows, miseries and sorrows; ah, my lovely country, when can I run into your arms again?”3

The initiative, aiming to develop a full-fledged multilateral cooperation mechanism that improves the welfare of China and participating countries alike, has suffered a spectrum of ups-and-downs including dissent and criticism, even dubbed as a “debt trap” by a few countries. In response to the incremental suspicion from both insiders and outsiders, China is endeavoring to revamp the original initiative in order to gain more support and trust. This redirection has not gone unnoticed. A senior research fellow at the Emirates Diplomatic Academy, Dr.

  • The Irresistible Rise of Asian Cinema 1
    The Irresistible Rise of Asian Cinema 1 By Gerald Pratley Spring 1994 Issue of KINEMA PRODUCTION ACTIVITY It was not so many years ago it seems when speaking of motion pictures from Asia meant Japanese films as represented by Akira Kurosawa and films from India made by Satyajit Ray. But suddenly time passesand now we are impressed and immersed in the flow of films from Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, South Korea, the Philippines, with Japan a less significant player, and India and Pakistan more prolific than ever inmaking entertainment for the mass audience. No one has given it a name or described it as ”New Wave,” it is simply Asian Cinema -- the most exciting development in filmmaking taking place in the world today. In China everything is falling apart yet it manages to hold together, nothing works yet it keeps on going, nothing is ever finished or properly maintained, and yes, here time does wait for every man. But asfar art and industry are concerned, it is an awakening giant! The Shanghai Film Studios are a small world of their own -- a reflection of what China is today. They are reputedly the best among the country’s 15studio lots, including Beijing and Changchun. The August 1st Studio in Beijing makes good use of the Army as extras -- as the Canadian Bethune discovered when it filmed there. The studios in Shanghai are about five miles from downtown in a pleasant suburban district. Ittakes45 minutes by taxi crawling through the dense crowds and traffic of all descriptions. Like all studios worldwide, it looks old, rough and ready, a quiet and dusty place among trees and flowers.

  • Health-Oriented Overseas Ngos and the New Overseas NGO Law in China 1
    Health-Oriented Overseas NGOs and the New Overseas NGO Law in China 1 Health-Oriented Overseas NGOs and the New Overseas NGO Law in China Jonathan Schwartz Professor of Political Science, Director of the Asian Studies Program, State University of New York, New Paltz Abstract How will the Overseas Non-Governmental Organization(ONGO) Law influence the ability of Health-Oriented Overseas NGOs(HONGOs) to function in China? Will they be heavily constrained, or will their roles as providers of health care services offer them protection? I address these questions by focusing on state-NGO relations through the lenses of Regulation, Negotiation, and Societalization. Whereas, in the pre-Xi Jinping era, state-NGO relations trended towards greater Negotiation and Societalization – reflecting the growing cooperation between state and civil society – the ONGO law suggests that state-NGO relations will take a shift back towards greater state Regulation. However, given the state’s goal of maintaining control while benefiting from the contributions ONGOs make to development, we can anticipate “good” ONGOs – those whose activities are seen as supporting state goals (such as HONGOs)– will potentially benefit from aspects of the law and a benign interpretation of its strictures. I conclude that because HONGOs provide important and helpful services to the state, they will not be adversely affected. Ultimately, this derives from the reality that the requirements of the ONGO law itself matter less than how China’s leadership chooses to target, interpret and implement it.
