𝐀𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭:
What were Hong Kong crime films like before they became a local, regional, and eventually global success story? How did colonial film censors influence the development of Hong Kong genre cinema, and the crime film in particular? And how can we think through the relationship between crime films and their social context? In this talk, Dr. Kristof Van den Troost will discuss these and other topics covered in his new book, Hong Kong Crime Films: Criminal Realism, Censorship and Society, 1947-1986 (Edinburgh University Press, 2023).
