UK Premiere at BFI Southbank
Date: Thu 5 Feb 18:20
Book: BFI
A fascinating documentary about a little-known chapter of cinema: the Chinese in American feature films. From the first Chinese American film, produced in 1916, to Ang Lee's triumphant Brokeback Mountain almost a century later, Hollywood Chinese brings together a fascinating portrait of actors, directors, writers, and iconic images to show how the Chinese have been imagined in movies, and how film-makers have and continue to navigate an industry that was often ignorant about race but at times paradoxically receptive.
