CHINA ; HISTORY OF CINEMA. HONG KONG ; CHINESE IN FILMS Summary: "The trajectory of Hong Kong films had been drastically affected long before the city’s official sovereignty transfer from the British to the Chinese in 1997. The change in course has become more visible in recent years as China has aggressively developed its national film industry and assumed the role of powerhouse in East Asia’s cinematic landscape. The author introduces the “Cinema of Transitions” to study the New Hong Kong Cinema and on- and off-screen life against this background. Using examples from the 1980s to the present, this book offers a fresh perspective on how Hong Kong-related Chinese-language films, filmmakers, audiences, and the workings of film business in East Asia have become major platforms on which “transitions” are negotiated." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 241-267), filmography (pages 233-240) and indexISBN: 9781782387039Donation: Senses of CinemaContents: -- list of illustrations -- acknowledgments -- notes on romanization, terminology, and information source -- abbreviations-- Introduction: the new Hong Kong cinema, cinema of transitions and East Asia -- Cinematic journeys and journeying in new Hong Kong films -- Outsider characters: Chineseness, and Hong Kong screen imagination and imageries -- Hong Kong filmmakers: authorial vision, self-inscription and social underdogs -- Ethnic Chinese film audiences: the red cliff experience in East and Southeast Asia -- Film policies and transitional politics: the newest East Asian film business network -- conclusion -- appendix -- filmography -- bibliography -- index --

CHINA ; REMAKES ; HOLLYWOOD Summary: "The dramatic surge of Chinese visibility in Hollywood has been spurred by Sino-chic talents such as directors Ang Lee, John Woo, Wong Kar-wai, Wayne Wang, and Zhang Yimou, and stars such as Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat, Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, and Michelle Yeoh. Analyzing well-known films by Chinese stars and crew, and the influence they have had on Hollywood directors, Kenneth Chan describes how post-1997 notions of Chinese identity and cultural genres have been reinvented and repackaged by major US studios. Highlighting numerous contradictions and cultural anxieties evident in transnational Hollywood films, Chan suggests that many Chinese stars and directors have made painful compromises to get their films successfully launched into the global capitalist stream of cultural commodities. -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references, filmography and indexISBN: 9789622090569Contents: -- acknowledgments -- Introduction : remaking Chinese cinemas, Hollywood style -- Visualizing Hong Kong : Hollywood's 1997 response to the Hong Kong handover -- The global return of the Wuxia pian (Chinese sword-fighting movie) -- Enter the triads : American cinema's new racialized criminal other -- Hollywood's Sino-chic : Kung fu parody, mimicry, and play in cross-cultural citationality -- Chinese supernaturalism : mythic ethnography and the mystical other -- Coda : global cinematic technologies of ethnic (un)representation -- coda: global cinematic technologies of ethnic (un)representation -- notes -- filmography -- bibliography -- index --
