 Local and Global Identity: Whither Hong Kong
The Hong Kong film industry is one of the few film industries in the world to make dialect films on a commercial basis and sustain such an industry by exporting dialect features successfully to a transnational market.
Hong Kong cinema is a transnational cinema because of its success in exporting films to the region, This success has been maintained since the end of the Second World War.

 Hong Kong | Departures   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Before '97, art in Hong Kong, outside the few museums, was limited mostly to being seen and sold on the antique market, with a few mausoleums devoted to modern interpreters of the classical tradition presided over by haughty, whispering old men.
In Central Hong Kong and Kowloon, one feels so much at the center of the world that it is easy to forget that the territory is a gateway to a great sea.
What always made Hong Kong so different from the rest of Asia was its incongruity—all that dazzling electricity pulsed within the charming yet faintly fusty confines of a British crown colony, with red pillar boxes and double-decker buses, and pictures of the queen everywhere.
