Under the gun: Hong Kong film festival
Article Abstract:
1996 could be the last year of the Hong Kong film festival because of its potential elimination when China takes over the country in 1997. China has already banned the use of films that it had anything to do with, some by very gifted filmmakers. Highlights of the 1996 festival are discussed.
