Dialogue between film and theatre studies is frequently hampered by
the lack of a shared vocabulary. Stage-Play and Screen-Play sets
out to remedy this, mapping out an intermedial space in which both
film and theatre might be examined. Each chapter's evaluation of
the processes and products of stage-to-screen and screen-to-stage
transfer is grounded in relevant, applied contexts. Michael Ingham
draws upon the growing field of adaptation studies to present case
studies ranging from Martin McDonagh's The Cripple of Inishmaan and
RSC Live's simulcast of Richard II to F.W. Murnau's silent Tartuff,
Peter Bogdanovich's film adaptation of Michael Frayn's Noises Off,
and Akiro Kurosawa's Ran, highlighting the multiple interfaces
between media. Offering a fresh insight into the ways in which film
and theatre communicate dramatic performances, this volume is a
must-read for students and scholars of stage and screen.

This is a comprehensive study of the lost genre of Hong Kong
documentary film. Does Hong Kong have a significant tradition in
documentary filmmaking? Until recently, many film scholars believed
not. Yet, when Ian Aitken and Michael Ingham challenged this
assumption, they discovered a rich cinematic tradition, dating back
to the 1890s. Under-researched and often forgotten, documentary
film-making in Hong Kong includes a thriving independent
documentary film movement, a large archive of documentaries made by
the colonial film units, and a number of classic British Official
Films. Case studies from all three categories are examined in this
book, including The Battle of Shanghai, The Sea and the Sky, Rising
Sun and The Hong Kong Case. In-depth discussion and analysis of
more recent Hong Kong independent documentaries focuses on works
such as Cheung King-wai's KJ: A Life in Music and films by Tammy
Cheung and Evans Chan. With a particular focus on how these films
address the historico-political dimension of their time, Hong Kong
Documentary Film introduces students and scholars in Film Studies
to this fascinating and largely unexplored cinematic tradition. It
is based on original archival research. It explores the issue of
colonial film-making. It explores the role of public service
television documentary. It presents critical analysis of important
films.
Hong Kong has always been something of an anomaly, and an outpost
of empire, whether British or Chinese. Once described as a barren
island, the former fishing community has been transformed by its
own economic miracle into one of Asia's World Cities, taking in its
stride the territory's 1997 return to Chinese sovereignty. Beneath
the surface of Hong Kong's cliched self-image as Pearl of the
Orient and Shopping Paradise, Michael Ingham reveals a city rich in
history, myth, and cultural diversity.
