With the recent return of Hong Kong to mainland China's control, this is
an especially opportune time to look at the past, present, and future of
Hong Kong film. For a special issue devoted to this topic (tentatively
scheduled for publication in late 1998), the journal Post Script invites
manuscripts which cumulatively look at Hong Kong movies and the Hong Kong
movie industry from a variety of methodological and historical
perspectives.
 
Suggested topics/approaches include, but are not limited to:
 
1. Institutional analyses (e.g., the organization of the movie industry in
different historical eras; studies of film production companies and
distributors; film exhibition; the contemporary industry in transition).
 
2. Studies of directors, actors, and other film workers.
 
3. Analyses of stylistic tendencies in Hong Kong movies.
 
4. Studies of film movements (e.g., the Hong Kong New Wave), genres, and
themes.
 
4. Close analyses of individual films.
 
5. Considerations of the Hong Kong movie audience (domestic and
international).
 
6. Explorations of topics and time periods underrepresented to date in
English-language scholarship (e.g., martial arts movies of the 1960s and
1970s; the relationship between Cantonese and Mandarin film
production; the history of Hong Kong film criticism).
 
We also encourage the submission of substantial interviews with film
industry personnel, English translations of significant essays and
articles (with copyright permissions secured), book reviews, and relevant
filmographies and annotated bibliographies.
 
The issue will be published in English; nonetheless, we welcome the
submission of essays originally written in Chinese which have not been
previously published. We regret that an English version of such materials
will be required for the guest editor to read them; however, if a more
polished translation is needed of manuscripts selected for publication,
this _may_ be possible to arrange.
 
Manuscript length: maximum 25 pages, including documentation.
Documentation: MLA style (internal documentation, with works cited).
 
Deadline for submissions: April 1, 1998.
 
Submit manuscripts (please, no faxes) and queries to:
