SUMMARY:Hong Kong Cinema and Singapore—The Cinematic Connection between Two Cities during the Cold War Era (1950–1965)
DESCRIPTION:Explore the Cinematic Ties Between Hong Kong and Singapore During the Cold War\nFree Public Talk at Clark County Historical Museum\nSaturday\, August 2\, 2025 | 2:00 PM | 1511 Main Street\, Vancouver\, WA \nJoin us at the Clark County Historical Museum for a captivating free talk by scholar and filmmaker Dr. Grace Yan-yan Mak (麥欣恩) as she presents “Hong Kong Cinema and Singapore—The Cinematic Connection between Two Cities during the Cold War Era (1950–1965).” \nIn this engaging program\, Dr. Mak will explore how geopolitical tensions in the 1950s transformed the landscape of Chinese-language cinema. With China’s growing isolation during the Cold War\, Hong Kong rose to prominence as a new filmmaking powerhouse—shaping cultural narratives across Asia and forging deep cinematic ties with Singapore and Malaya. \nDiscover how these two British colonies were connected through shared audiences\, artistic visions\, and cinematic representations that reflected a broader “overseas Chinese” identity. Through film analysis and historical context\, Dr. Mak will shine a light on the studios\, stories\, and cultural forces that defined this vibrant cinematic exchange. \nAbout the Speaker:\nDr. Grace Yan-yan Mak is a Hong Kong–born scholar\, writer\, and filmmaker with a Ph.D. in Chinese Studies from the National University of Singapore. She serves on the board of the Northwest China Council and is a former apprentice to director Tsui Hark. Dr. Mak has published extensively on Chinese cinema and literature and co-founded Banyan Tree Movies. \nAdmission is free and open to all. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to experience the intersections of history\, politics\, and film.
