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.
