Investigate major questions concerning globalization through a selection of Hong Kong films and gain a thorough understanding of  the relationship between local, popular entertainment and the global film scene .

In an age where cross-cultural interactions are frequent, Hong Kong cinema cannot be regarded merely as a local phenomenon but instead is evidence of complex global interactions.

Flows of capital, film personnel, technologies, ideas and creativity are vibrantly circulating around the cultural industry of filmmaking, resulting in transnational co-productions and cross-cultural co-operations. These dynamic processes are inflected in characterization, plot development, and space-time configurations on Hong Kong screens.

Please watch these films so that you can get the most out of the course content. Please note that you will need to acquire and watch the films on your own. We advise you see the films before each week’s material.
