Books, films and everything in between

China Daily  

Cuboid screens resembling Hong Kong's generic tower blocks serve as the centerpiece of the City Portraits: Hong Kong Film and Literature exhibition at the Hong Kong Film Archive. Hollywood's magpie-minded filmmakers have long drawn on the world of literature in weaving celluloid stories - and their counterparts in Hong Kong are no different, as a new exhibition makes clear. Hong Kong Film Archive's new City Portraits: Hong Kong Film and Literature show traces of inbreeding between the two art forms going back by nearly a century, to the birth of the local film industry. The presence of cuboid screens resembling Hong Kong's generic tower blocks underscores the unique urban environment documented in the city's literature and film alike.
