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.Motion picturesChinaHong KongHistory21st centuryChinese in motion picturesFilm and Television Studies, Cultural Studies (General).Motion picturesHistoryChinese in motion pictures.791.43095125Cheung Ruby1188421MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813589803321New Hong Kong cinema4093182UNINA
