「香港電影史導論 Podcast第五集」討論大網 有關這系列的Podcast, 詳情請看這裡。 第五集「香港電影在1960年代的變遷」 討論大網： 1960年代的香港影業基本上延續1950年代，主要的導演和編劇都是1950年代初已入行的一批，創作觀念上改變不大。但1960年代香港的經濟已擺脫1950年代的貧困局面而進入小康。粵語片方面，類型也就由淒慘的文藝片逐漸轉向「小康之家式」中產小夫妻喜劇以至歌頌自食其力的「工廠妹萬歲」電影，也有關心下一代會否學壞的青春片，並由此出現陳寶珠、蕭芳芳的影迷熱潮。國語片方面，經濟成長也造就一種追求個性解放的心態，造就了張徹以陽剛為號召的武俠片，從而把香港電影以至中國電影的女明星主導的傳統徹底改變。 在這第五集的podcast， 我們一共分開三節，每節的主題如下： 5.1  60年代香港電影產業的總體特色、以及重點討論了三種粵語流行電影類型, 包括武俠片、小夫妻喜劇、青春歌舞電影。 5.2 60年代流行的張徹的國語武俠電影如何範式轉移影響日後的香港電影，另外我們也重點討論了楚原和龍剛的電影 5.3 60年代電影產業的一些特有現象，以及六七暴動和無線電視廣播對香港電影的影響，及至最後香港粵語片停產的原因。 Outline of Introduction to Hong Kong Film Industry Podcast Part 5 About this series of podcasts, please check here. Episode 5: “Changes in Hong Kong Cinema in the 1960s” The 1960s for the Hong Kong film industry was, for the most part, a continuation of the 1950s. Many key directors and screenwriters of the era had their origins rooted in the group that emerged in the 1950s; as such, creative theories in regard to filmmaking changed little during this time.  However, during the 1960s, Hong Kong’s economy had begun to break off from the economically impoverished state of the 1950s, entering instead into a relative period of prosperity.  For Cantonese cinema, tragic art films were gradually replaced by “Family Style” middle-class and young family comedies. These films celebrated the self-supported “Factory Girl” and youth films that focused on the worry of a new generation that might be led astray. These gave rise to then-upcoming stars like Connie Chan Po-chu and Josephine Siao Fong-Fong, who had fervent film fanbases.  As for Mandarin Films, their economic growth created an attitude of pursuing individual freedom, leading to Chang Cheh's use of Wuxia films to appeal to masculine audiences—completely changing the tradition of female movie stars dominating Hong Kong and even Chinese Cinema.  In this fifth episode of the podcast, we have three segments, each focusing on the following topics; 5.1 The overall characteristics of the Hong Kong film industry in the 1960s, with a specific focus on discussing three popular Cantonese film genres, including martial arts films, romantic comedies featuring married couples, and youth musical films. 5.2 How the paradigm shift in popular Chang Cheh's Mandarin martial arts films of the 1960s influenced subsequent Hong Kong films. Additionally, there is a specific emphasis on discussing the films of directors Cheung Po Kin (Chu Yuan) and Lung Kong. 5.3 Some unique phenomena in the 1960s film industry, the impact of the six-seven riots and wireless TV broadcasting on Hong Kong cinema, and finally, the reasons for the cessation of Hong Kong Cantonese films. ****************** Follow the hosts: Kay Ho's Instagram: @kayho1430 Po Fung's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/flash1030/ This episode is part of the "Preserve Yesterday - Back to Lee Theatre VR" project, which was a collaboration with the Hong Kong XR Museum.

《3CM》(2019) 是其中一部在「銀幕·香港」香港Indie電影網上展放映的電影 (詳情：https://www.hkonscreen.org/indie-home）。《3CM》(2019)看似一個微不足道的距離，卻是結節性硬化症病人生死存亡的指標，影響他們能否得到合適的藥物。電影由兩位背景各異的病友媽媽的角度出發，走訪他們爭取生存權利和尊嚴的歷程，從而探討公共政策及社會公義等課題。《3CM》(2019)不只是罕見病病友的故事，也是香港人的故事。 「銀幕·香港 Podcast」在這一集邀請了《3CM》(2019)的導演黃肇邦一起討論了： 1. 為何導演揀選罕見病這個比較特別的題材？拍攝紀錄片的緣起是？ 2. 藥物政策、醫療倫理、公共衛生等議題都相對沉重而複雜，亦需要很多資訊才能令到一般觀眾理解，導演又如何平衡不同素材，同時可以牽動觀眾，令人想繼續觀看呢？ 3. 拍攝紀錄片就跟人生一樣無法預計，在剪輯過程中，遇到甚麼困難？如何選取、編排素材？ 4. 電影把焦點放在照顧者社群和他們爭取權益的歷程上，而不是集中描繪罕見病病友的嚴峻病況，為何會有這樣的安排？ 5. 紀錄片中被訪者都十分真誠和信任地講出心聲，導演是如何建立這份關係？ 6. 電影其中一個核心訊息是為自己發聲、嘗試帶出改變。我們看到片中被訪者如何發聲，那麼對導演來說，何謂發聲？ 7. 電影最後以一個對比鮮明的畫面作結，期望帶出甚麼訊息？ 8. 之前在香港本地放映，受疫情所限未必能接觸到很多觀眾，是次網上放映則可以接觸到海外觀眾，導演有甚麼看法？ 9. 可以透露一下接下來的電影項目嗎？ 3CM (2019) is one of the films featured in the HKOS Indie Film Online Showcase (for more info: https://www.hkonscreen.org/indie-home). Despite its seemingly insignificant distance, 3CM (2019) serves as a crucial marker of life and death for patients with tuberous sclerosis, impacting their ability to access the proper medication. The film takes the perspective of two mothers from diverse backgrounds who embark on a journey to fight for their right to survival and dignity, thereby exploring issues related to public policy and social justice. 3CM (2019) is not only a story of rare disease patients but also a story of the people of Hong Kong. In this episode, director Wong Siu-pong of 3CM (2019) joins the discussion to explore:Why did the director choose the relatively unique topic of rare diseases? What was the inspiration behind making this documentary?Issues like drug policies, medical ethics, and public health can be pretty heavy and complex, often requiring much information for the general audience to understand. How did the director balance the different materials to engage the audience and keep them interested?Filmmaking, like life, is unpredictable. During the editing process, what challenges did the director face, and how did they select and arrange the materials?The film focuses on the caregiver community and their journey to advocate for their rights rather than solely depicting the severe conditions of rare disease patients. What was the reasoning behind this approach?The interviewees in the documentary are very candid and trusting in sharing their thoughts. How did the director establish this rapport?One of the core messages of the film is about speaking up for oneself and trying to bring about change. We see how the interviewees in the movie do this, but for the director, what does "speaking up" mean?The film ends with a stark visual contrast. What message does the director hope to convey with this ending?Previously, the film was screened locally in Hong Kong, and due to the pandemic, it may not have reached many viewers. With online screening, it can reach an international audience. What are the director's thoughts on this?Could you give us a glimpse of the director's upcoming film projects? 嘉賓主持：阿紗 Guest Host: Ah-Sha Follow her @ https://www.instagram.com/hk.finger/ --- The Hong Kong On Screen Podcast is a podcast about Hong Kong Cinema.

💙💙💙 影片《霸王別姬》改編自🇭🇰香港女作家李碧華的同名小說。這部由陳凱歌導演，蘆葦編劇，張國榮🇭🇰、鞏俐、張豐毅、葛優等人領銜主演的電影，堪稱集齊大陸、香港、臺灣兩岸三地之財力、物力及人力合作創制而成的經典之作。作爲華語影壇藝術成就最高且享有世界盛譽的旗幟級影片，《霸王別姬》自1993年問世以來，贏得了億萬影迷青睞，打破了中國內地文藝片在美國的票房紀錄，並爲陳凱歌一舉拿下1993年度法國康城影展的最高榮譽金棕櫚大獎、美國金球獎最佳外語片、國際影評人聯盟大獎等多項國際榮譽，2005年《霸王別姬》入選美國《時代週刊》評選的「全球史上百部最佳電影」，畫下了陳凱歌導演藝術生涯最爲濃墨重彩的一筆。 🌟🌟🌟 當這部電影於1993年進入美國影院時，Miramax 的哈維·韋恩斯坦 (Harvey Weinstein) 從電影中删了14分鐘。現在，Film Movement Classics將以全長171分鐘的完整版重新回到影院。該發行商將於9月22日在紐約市的Film Forum推出北美影院的最新修復4K版本。洛杉磯的觀衆可以在9月29日在Nuart觀看這個版本。 為了隆重其事，我們製作了四集podcast， 邀請了四名學者，從各自的領域探討《霸王別姬》這部華語電影的重要性。四集節目中，兩集以英語進行，另兩集會以廣東話錄音。 在最後一集，請來了約翰霍普金斯大學的孔誥烽教授來跟我們討論了《霸王別姬》裡面的中國歷史觀如何不合當今的官方論述；另外，電影中的對文革的描述跟今天官方的主導思想有何異同呢？ 💙💙💙 The film "Farewell My Concubine" is adapted from the novel of the same name by 🇭🇰Hong Kong writer Lilian Lee. Directed by Chen Kaige, written by Lu Wei, and starring Leslie Cheung🇭🇰, Gong Li, Zhang Fengyi, Ge You, and others, this movie can be considered a classic collaboration that brought together financial, material, and human resources from Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. As a flagship film with the highest artistic achievements in the Chinese-language film industry and enjoying worldwide acclaim, "Farewell My Concubine" has been beloved by millions of fans since its release in 1993. It broke the box office records for mainland Chinese art films in the United States. It won numerous international honors for Chen Kaige, including the Palme d'Or at the 1993 Cannes Film Festival, the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and awards from the International Federation of Film Critics.
