Since the 1930s, comics have served as a source of inspiration for Hong Kong films. Stemming from local cultures and drawing influences from foreign trends, comic-inspired films have been an integral part of Hong Kong’s popular culture. Characters like Old Master Q, Striding Cloud and McDull are loved by generations of comic readers and moviegoers in Hong Kong. Complementing the exhibition at the Hong Kong Film Archive that explores the history of Hong Kong comic films, this live streaming seminar will provide insight into the comic-inspired films that shaped the pop culture.
