In this collection of essays on Chan's documentary and feature films seven experts on cultural and film studies examine the unique blending of fictional representation, historical investigation, and critical essayism that characterize Chan's oeuvre. They discuss how Chan's work brings out the contradictory nature of the distant and recent past through his exploration of Hong Kong's rapid transformation before and after reunification with China in 1997.Motion picture producers and directorsChinaHong KongMotion picturesChinaHong KongMotion picture producers and directorsMotion pictures791.4302330951Williams TonyMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817269103321Postcolonialism, diaspora, and alternative histories4034394UNINA
