My essay "Documenting Anti-colonial Social Movements in Early 1970s Hong Kong with 16mm" is just published here in @JCMSJournal, looking at The 70's Biweekly collective's move into filmmaking to document protests in early 1970s Hong Kong: https://t.co/gqURrNGe3t

It gives me great pleasure to share the release of my decade-in-the-writing critical biography of filmmaker/activist Adachi Masao. Pink Auteur, Red Outlaw: Adachi Masao and Japan’s Cinema of Revolution is out September 1 via @Awai_Books. https://t.co/1mW3uNRQEU

Sammo Hung’s Pedicab Driver coming soon from @ArrowFilmsVideo

Another postcard was found in their release of John Woo’s ‘Bullet in the Head’

Praying it gets released this year as this is a Top 10 Hong Kong film for me 🥳

@midnightmes @JEONJU_IFF @IFFR Any plans for Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s V-Cinema films including the wonderful Suit Yourself or Shoot Yourself series to be released onto English language friendly Blu-ray? Here’s hoping!

A brilliant essay exploring the already legendary Kensuke Sonomura’s experimental action choreography. Really helps in understanding his unorthodox methods and visceral aesthetics

[Jonah Jeng @JonahJeng]

THE FURIOUS hits theaters this weekend. For the occasion, I wrote about action director Kensuke Sonomura, one of the most innovative fight choreographers working today. @mubinotebook https://t.co/j5hKL5P6Bp

The words at the top of the poster for Soi Cheang’s new main melody film read: “Unification with Taiwan is unstoppable”. No subtly at all in the marketing for this film

[One Perfect HEADshot @HeadExposure]

Whyyyyy would they remove the opening scene? Makes zero sense. Man, censorship is a plague.

In a new interview with @Matt_Thrift, legendary Hong Kong producer and director Tsui Hark reflects on his filmmaking, from his early, inventive genre films to later CGI-filled epics. https://t.co/RFfObEchIB

Banning Cenk Uyghur and Hasan Piker from entering the UK is an absurd and cowardly decision from an increasingly authoritarian government.

Let us call this what it is: an attack on the freedom to criticise Israel, as well as the UK government’s own complicity in genocide.

As a small thank you for continuing to patiently wait for our preorders of CITY WARRIORS & KUNG FU STUDENT, here are a few future Hong Kong action titles we are currently working on, please enjoy! More horror titles coming soon as well!

[Third Window Films @thirdwindow]

On May 26th we'll be announcing our next set of releases.
A double-bill of unbelievably obscure but super-great 80s youth-rebellion flicks from Japan.
Neither have been released in any format outside of Japan before, not even any film festivals!
Watch this space!

Count me as a fan of Na Hong-jin’s HOPE, a clever, full-throttle adventure that I think is far more intriguing than many are giving it credit for.

Cowardly BBC remove parts of the BAFTA acceptance speech delivered by the team behind "Gaza: Doctors Under Attack", after the filmmakers publicly criticized the broadcaster for refusing to air the documentary.

Today is David Graeber day:

“The Labour Party under Starmer will abandon its core idealism & principles and it won’t even gain tactical advantage. It will be a party which gives no one a reason to vote for it, and no one will, in fact, vote for it.” (April 2020)
