 glbtq >> arts >> Hong Kong Film
Yet as the 1997 deadline ticked away, and as Hong Kong film directors worried about what censorship the future might hold, a more focused, less apologetic batch of queer films emerged, films poised to challenge the mainland's official denials of Chinese homosexuality.
Predictably, queer images in Hong Kong's "category 3" films tend towards lesbian erotica aimed at the fantasies of a heterosexual male audience, as in the Sex and Zen series (1991-1996), the Erotic Ghost Story series (1990-1992), the Raped by an Angel series (1993-2000), or Ho Shu Pau's lesbian thriller The Love that is Wrong (1993).
While Hong Kong's film industry is not as strong as it was before the handover, and while production of films overall has lessened considerably, the openness of queer themes in Hong Kong cinema is apparently here to stay.
