Abstract
What are Hong Kong cinema and media? Where do we locate them? Examining how Hong Kong filmmakers, spectators and critics wrestled with this perturbation between the Leftist Riots (1967) and the aftermath of the Umbrella Movement (2014), this book traces how Hong Kong’s extraterritoriality has been framed: in its position of being doubly occupied and doubly abandoned by contesting juridical, political, linguistic, and cultural forces. Scrutinising creative works in mainstream cinema, independent films, television, video artworks, and documentaries, especially those by marginalised artists, it actively rewrites and reconfigures how Hong Kong cinema and media are to be defined and located.
