New Hong Kong Cinema: Transitions to Becoming Chinese in 21st-Century East Asia

By Ruby Cheung

Book Overview

Advocates the model of 'Cinema of Transitions' to study Hong Kong-related, Chinese-language films that are concerned with Hong Kong's sovereignty transfer. Intervenes in the studies of Hong Kong cinema from a combined perspective of Diaspora and East Asian Studies, rather than situating the debates among the usual theoretical frameworks of localism or globalisation. Brings discussions of Hong Kong-related Chinese-language films up to date (e.g., inclusive of discussions of several films made in 2013 and 2014). Explores understudied areas of contemporary Hong Kong cinema, including animations and empirical audience studies.
