Episode 7: “TVB’s Impact on the Emergence of ‘Hong Kong’ and the ‘Hong Konger’ Identity" Television Broadcasting Limited (TVB) was founded in 1967 and had, by the 1970s, become a popular and influential entertainment and information program in Hong Kong. Even Hong Kong cinema was directly influenced by the rise of television. Television soon became a training ground for talent in the film industry: successful televisions were often adapted into movies, and it was common for successful television personnel to be introduced into the film industry. Television dramas and news programs also established a distinctive identity for the people of Hong Kong. Cantonese Television even helped shift Hong Kong Cinema’s market from being a Mandarin-dominated market to being Cantonese-dominated. In the 1970s, Hong Kong cinema completed a generational transition, with the previous generation of directors and writers retiring from the scene and a new generation of filmmakers from Hong Kong taking over. Notable directors who emerged from this period include John Woo, Sammo Hung, and Tsui Hark, who all esta...2024-08-191h 29

Episode 6: “The Emergence of Golden Harvest and the Flourishing of the Film Industry in the 1970s Under Free Competition" At the start of the 1970s, the Shaw Brothers Company, with its studios and cinema chains and a massive production volume, seemed like an invincible giant in the film industry. However, it created its formidable competitor: Raymond Chow, a former Shaw Brothers executive. Chow left the company due to disagreements with Mona Fong's management and founded Golden Harvest. Golden Harvest discovered Bruce Lee, took over Cathay Organization's studios, and established its cinema chain. The success of Michael Hui's comedies repeatedly broke box office records. Golden Harvest evolved from a financially struggling company into an internationally renowned giant capable of rivaling Shaw Brothers. It became a pillar of Hong Kong cinema from the 1980s to the 1990s, embodying a legendary success story. In addition to Golden Harvest, several independent film companies achieved significant box office success during the 1970s, bringing fresh ideas to the industry. These included companies like Seasonal Film Corporation and Bo Ho Film Company, which thrived due to the free competition in Hong Kong's film industry. In this sixth episode of the podcast, we divided our discussion into three segments. In the third segment, we covered the following topics:How were Hong Kong and Taiwanese films related in the 1970s, and why can this period be considered the closest in history?With the cessation of Cantonese films, Taiwanese films entered the Hong Kong market.

Carol has been with Mind since it began in 2017, and over the years, she has worked tirelessly to change attitudes towards mental health in Hong Kong. We discussed why greater mental health awareness in the city has not resulted in reduced stigma, why so many people in Hong Kong experience mental health conditions in isolation, and why normalising talking about mental health is essential.

Episode 5: “Changes in Hong Kong Cinema in the 1960s” The 1960s for the Hong Kong film industry was, for the most part, a continuation of the 1950s. Many key directors and screenwriters of the era had their origins rooted in the group that emerged in the 1950s; as such, creative theories in regard to filmmaking changed little during this time. However, during the 1960s, Hong Kong’s economy had begun to break off from the economically impoverished state of the 1950s, entering instead into a relative period of prosperity. For Cantonese cinema, tragic art films were gradually replaced by “Family Style” middle-class and young family comedies. These films celebrated the self-supported “Factory Girl” and youth films that focused on the worry of a new generation that might be led astray. These gave rise to then-upcoming stars like Connie Chan Po-chu and Josephine Siao Fong-Fong, who had fervent film fanbases. As for Mandarin Films, their economic growth created an attitude of pursuing individual freedom, leading to Chang Cheh's use of Wuxia films to appeal to masculine audiences—completely changing the tradition of fe...2023-12-251h 10

While companies that appeared more rightist included “Hsin Hwa Motion Pictures” and “Asia Film Company.” Amongst them were companies that sought to enter and endear themselves to the Taiwanese market, including the “Shaw Bross” and “MP & GI” (also known as Cathay Organization). Although their political stances were seemingly oppositional, both sides had for a long period where few films openly displayed any political messages-- most movies filmed were commercial features focused foremost on entertainment. 2023-08-231h 18

The Hong Kong On Screen PodcastEp. 26: Hong Kong Film History Pt. 2 w/ Po Fung (蒲鋒）[Cantonese]二次大戰結束，香港重光，中國則很快陷入國共內戰。儘管香港不受政權更替所影響，但是中國政治的變遷卻對香港影業有著間接但強大的影響。在戰爭時留滬的上海影人被視為漢奸而避禍香港。資本雄厚的永華公司也因香港局勢較穩而在香港建立。國共都想在香港發揮影響力，在鬥爭中造成左派右派兩大陣營，在冷戰階段構成香港影業的基本格局。 Following the end of World War Two, Hong Kong was liberated from the Japanese occupation while China was embroiled in the Chinese Civil War between the Kuomintang (KMT) government and forces of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Despite being unscathed by the regime changes, the shift in the Chinese political landscape had a determining but indirect influence on Hong Kong’s film industry. During the Civil War, many Shanghai filmmakers sought refuge in Hong Kong because they were considered traitors to the regime. The well-capitalized company, Wing-Wah, also established its foundation in Hong Kong due to its relative political stability. During the Cold War, KMT and CCP tried to expand their reach to Hong Kong. The conflict between the two camps consolidated the leftist-rightist dichotomy as the basic structure of the Hong Kong film industry.

The Hong Kong On Screen PodcastEp. 22: Hong Kong Film History Pt. 1 w/ Po Fung (蒲鋒）[Cantonese]2009年香港政府曾大張旗鼓舉辦了多項慶祝香港電影100年的活動，最有意義也最反諷的一項活動是香港電影資料館在年底舉辦的一次學術研討會，因為有學者在會上提出有力證據，一百年之前的1909年那一年並沒有拍出第一部香港電影，第一部香港電影應該出現在1914年。第一部香港電影的討論是件既有趣也深具啟發性的歷史考據。出現了第一部電影並不等於會出現一個興旺的影業。香港能在1930年代發展出一個僅次於上海的華語電影影業，實受著中國政治、經濟、文化等因素強烈影響，其中邵氏兄弟又起著至今還未被足夠認真看待的重要作用。 The Hong Kong government commemorated the centenary of the Hong Kong cinematic industry with a range of activities in 2019. Perhaps the most significant yet ironic event was the academic symposium held by the Hong Kong Film Archive at the end of the year. In the symposium, a scholar presented concrete evidence to challenge the long-held consensus that the first Hong Kong film was produced in 1909. Instead, the scholar suggested the first film was produced five years later, in 1914. This discussion was an exciting and thought-provoking example of a scholarly endeavor in Hong Kong’s cinematic history. While the first film marked a milestone in Hong Kong history, it did not suggest the industry was vibrant during the initial stage. In the 1930s, Hong Kong finally established its Mandarin film industry, only second to Shanghai. Its development could be attributed to various factors, including Chinese politics, economy, and culture. In part, Shaw Brothers Studio, a local film production company, played an influential yet less-known role in the industry. ...2023-04-271h 17Made in Hong KongEpisode 44: My American Boyfriend's first time in Hong Kong!!!Happy Year of the Rabbit everyone!
