Remembrance of the Avant-garde: Archival Camera Collection

Date: 11/7 - 2/11/2014
Venue: Exhibition Hall, Hong Kong Film Archive

HKFA has acquired over 200 pieces of film camera equipment since its establishment more than a decade ago. The collection varied in eras, production countries, and formats; from smaller sizes of 8mm, super 8 and 16mm film cameras, to bulky 35mm film cameras. The exhibition offers a nostalgic glimpse of film technology in the olden days to young audiences of the mobile era. During exhibition period, HKFA will be co-organizing a series of seminars with the Hong Kong Society of Cinematographers, inviting numerous experimental film artists of the 70s, and award-winning cinematographers to share with our audience their valuable experiences in film and cinematography.
