Hollywood Chinese (2007)
Hollywood Chinese is a multi-faceted look at American cinema through the lens of the Chinese American experience.
When:
September 11, 2008 8:00pm to 12:00am
Where
Directed by Arthur Dong (2008, 90 mins.), starring Joan Chen, Christopher Lee, Nancy Kwan, Ang Lee, and Luise Rainer
Introduced by Arthur Dong
Written, directed, edited and produced by Arthur Dong, this film is both a history of the Chinese presence in American films and a meditation on the difficulties Chinese Americans have had in being seen as individuals and in putting the reality of their experience on screen. A fascinating and unusual cinematic and cultural journey. (K. Tu., May 30) (1:30) Unrated.
"What's amazing about Arthur Dong's Hollywood Chinese, a chronicle of Chinese Americans in Hollywood beginning in the silent era and culminating in today's success stories, is how much fun it is. Loaded with film clips, celebrity interviews and without an ax to grind, it's a film not just for Chinese Americans but for film lovers in general."
- C. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle
