Zhu Shilin: A Filmmaker of His Times
Throughout his film career, Zhu Shilin (1899-1967) did not resign himself to drifting with the tide, but stayed true to his passion and tactfully rode out the turbulent waves of history with unflagging perseverance. He, somewhat like a miracle, made himself a genuine auteur rarely found in Chinese cinema, reflecting both past and present, tradition and modernity. Back in his times, his works might have not been 'progressive' enough, but when seen today, they continue to charm while finding their way deep into the core of the Chinese psyche.

The book contains essays on the art and historical path of Zhu Shilin by reputed scholars and writers, plus interviews with Zhu's children and protégé Cen Fan. 256 pages in total. Published in March 2008. In separate Chinese and English editions. Priced at HK$118. (Edited by Wong Ain-ling)

Oral History Series Oral History Series (4): Director Wong Tin-lam (In Chinese)

Wizard-director Wong Tin-lam has worked in a wide variety of genres throughout his career. Cantonese martial arts fantasy and folktale were the mainstays of his early works, but it was his contemporary films, particularly the musical, light comedy and melodrama he directed for Hsin Hwa, MP & GI/Cathay in the 1950s and 60s, that came to be recognised as his real gems. Wong joined the TV industry in the 1970s, poised to write a new chapter of his remarkable career as a trendsetter in this infant business. In addition to his own accounts of yesteryears, the meetings with his son Wong Jing and protégés David Lam, Ringo Lam and Johnnie To have documented the lineage tracing back to the master himself. The monograph also publishes a collection of his column that ran in T.V. Week in the 1970s and 80s. Offering personal anecdotes and hard-to-find records of post-war Hong Kong cinema, the monograph promises to be a fun read.

 New Release 
Hong Kong Filmography Volume VI
(1965-1969)
(In Chinese)

Up until the mid-to-late 1960s, going to the movies was still the most staple entertainment for the general public. Despite the social unrest caused by mass riots in 1967, Hong Kong's film industry made a swift recovery, and treating the audience to the delights of widescreen cinema in glorious colour. With the establishment of its own colour processing workshop, Shaw Brothers (Hong Kong) Ltd. went from strength to strength, and consolidated the dominance of Mandarin films in the market. By contrast, Cantonese films were lagging behind with new social trends and taste. In the midst of drastic downsizing of productions, some dedicated Cantonese film veterans took their vocation even more seriously, and came up with meticulously crafted works. However, for practical reasons, the Hong Kong film industry diverted resources to developing the Taiwanese market.

Hong Kong in the 1960s was a time of tremendous economic growth and social evolution. The baby-boomer generation created a demand for more youthful and urban film culture. Both Mandarin and Cantonese films tried to cater to this young audience by making chic, cosmopolitan drama, lively youth films packed with song and dance, and even socially conscious works that tackled the problems of rebellious or delinquent youth. On another front, a revolution was taking place in colour wuxia films, thanks to trailblazers like King Hu and Chang Cheh. Their bold recreation of the martial arts world, their innovations in action choreography and unique aesthetics of violence took the genre to dizzying heights of artistic achievement and (sometimes) commercial success. Contemporary detective and action films also thrived as variations on this genre.

Hong Kong Filmography Volume VI (1965-1969) has compiled a database of some 900 titles of both fiction and documentary films made between 1965 and 1969. 452 pages thick with 16 colour poster stills. Hardcover. Published in 2007, priced at HK$265. (Edited by Kwok Ching-ling)

Hong Kong Filmography, Volume V (1960-1964) Chinese Editions Hong Kong Filmography Volume V
(1960-1964)
(In Chinese)

Cantonese cinema reaped a bumper harvest during the early and mid-1960s, thriving on the advent of technological and cinematic advances of the earlier decades. Yet the growing market dominance enjoyed by the Mandarin cinema under the big studio system foreshadowed the dramatic decline of the Cantonese cinema towards the end of the decade.

As for Cantonese cinema, Kong Ngee actively sought territorial expansion in the mid-1960s and set up a string of subsidiaries. Chun Kim, a key player at the Union, joined Kong Ngee to become its flag-bearer. The transition the cinema was undergoing at that time coincided with the transfer of directorial talents necessary for the continuation of the lineage. Lan Kwong Film Company, the latest contender, launched production in 1959. Its family melodramas left the terrain of the extended feudal family to address issues pertinent to the nuclear family and hit a nerve with contemporary audiences.

Period films took a liking to the Cantonese opera and martial arts genres. Cantonese opera films attempted to reinvigorate itself by injecting lustrous stage elements such as the 'hair-flinging' and 'round walking' techniques into war-period features. The popularity that the Wong Fei-hung series enjoyed in the 1950s when an overwhelming 60 titles were produced was drawn to a close. Adaptations of 'new style' martial arts novels quickly filled the void.

The Rivalry between Shaw Bros and MP & GI raised the standard of Mandarin filmmaking to an unprecedented height. However, independent studios were worst hit by the onslaught of the Big Two. The era also witnessed the rise to fame of Li Han-hsiang, whose influence towered over the development of Mandarin cinema with the addition of the grandeur palace epics Yang Kwei-fei (The Magnificent Concubine) (1962) and Empress Wu Tse-tien (1963) to the Shaw repertoire, and his unique language of aesthetic crafted in the huangmei diao opera film, The Love Eterne (1962). Great Wall and Feng Huang, two left-wing studios, mounted a formidable defence. Unswayed by the huangmei diao craze, the studios released a string of Yue opera films, including Bride Hunter (1961) and The Princess Falls in Love (1962), and featured its star attraction Hsia Moon whose singing was dubbed by a mainland prima donna.

Hong Kong Filmography Volume IV

The 1950s was a prosperous period in the history of Hong Kong cinema, giving rise to flourishing film genres, techniques, and highly skilled personnel. The audience was dazzled by rich doses of melodramatic realist, martial arts, comedy, and Cantonese opera films, to name but a few. For the first time, the monotonous black and white screen was livening up by the emergence of 3-D, Scope and colour films. The rise of dialect films represented an interest in expanding the root and culture of overseas Chinese, a sentiment shared by the filmmakers and audience alike.

The Hong Kong - Guangdong Film Connection


The Hong Kong - Guangdong Film Connection

Hong Kong has always maintained a close-knit cultural, economical and political tie with its native province of Guangdong throughout the colonial era to the present. The colony was embroiled in cross-border turmoil such as the massive strike in the 1920s and the eight-year anti-Japanese war. Cantonese operatic arts and influential players, folk legends of Guangdong heroes and household names Wong Fei-hung and Chan Mung-kat, and the Lingnan culture thrived in Cantonese cinema during the post-war years, sending the creative spark flying in the territory.

The book is the first insightful retrospect of the dynamic and profound relationship between Hong Kong and Guangdong cinemas. Renowned scholar Li Yizhuang, cultural worker Reeve Wong and film critics Po Fung and Koo Siu-sun, among other contributors, offer their accounts of the people and places at this historical juncture that helped shape and redefine the cinemas of the two cities. Published in March 2005 in separate Chinese and English editions. Priced at HK$110 for English edition; HK$75 for Chinese edition. (Edited by Wong Ain-ling)
