Summary
This bibliography includes selected publications in English on Hong Kong cinema, conveniently grouped under the following four headings: books, booklets/film programs, articles/book chapters, and theses/dissertations. While journalistic publications, in particular articles, interviews and film reviews in daily newspapers, fan and trade magazines, and most film journals (e.g., Cinemaya, Film Comment, and Sight and Sound) are not listed, book length general studies, the usual academic papers, the collectible film festival catalogs, and M.A. theses and Ph.D. dissertations have been selected for inclusion, with brief annotations added to some entries.
For more than two decades, the Hong Kong International Film Festival (HKIFF) has been publishing the best series of annual catalogs on Hong Kong cinema. Every year, from 1978 to 1999, the HKIFF has produced one or two (two in 1982, 1983, 1985–88, 1990, 1997, 1998, and 1999) retrospective catalogs devoted exclusively to Hong Kong cinema in addition to issuing its main catalogs (mc) where, from 1991 to 1996, articles on recent Hong Kong films were also published. With a wealth of historical data, dozens of interviews, many informative and insightful essays, hundreds of biographies, countless film synopses, and decades of filmographies, not to mention page after page of rare stills, these bilingual (Chinese and English) catalogs are indispensable to serious film researchers. To present a sampling of their rich contents, the more substantial articles from all the catalogs of the 1990s, i.e. from 1990 to 1999, are included in this bibliography.
