This course examines the dynamic role of Hong Kong's film industry and pop culture in shaping and reflecting the socio-political affairs between the end of Second World War and the Handover in 1997. Through a mix of film screenings, pop culture analysis, and historical context, this course examines how Hong Kong navigated its position and how its cinema and popular media reflected, resisted, and transformed ideas of class, gender, identity, modernity, migration and global influence. Students will engage with films, or other related cultural productions, studying the intersection of politics, culture, and social change in Cold War Asia. This course is ideal for students interested in film studies, cultural history, and the broader context of postwar Asia.
