OverviewExamining 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. Extraterritoriality scrutinises creative works in mainstream cinema, independent films, television, video artworks and documentaries - especially those by marginalised artists - actively rewriting and reconfiguring how Hong Kong cinema and media are to be defined and located.

Table of ContentsReviewsFan forges a bracingly original perspective on the conjunction of cinema and politics in this book, which sets out an authoritative history of Hong Kong cinema while also radically rethinking the basis on which such a history - constituted by dispossession and exclusion, rather than identity and belonging - can be composed.--Professor Jean Ma, Stanford University Author InformationVictor Fan is Senior Lecturer at Film Studies, King's College London and Film Consultant of the Chinese Visual Festival.
