“文革”时期香港左派电影的创作和发行实况新探

Revisiting the Production and Distribution of the Left-Wing Films in Hong Kong During the “Cultural Revolution”

20世纪60年代后期,香港社会和香港电影开启了本土化转型之路,娱乐化成为这种转型的主体诉求。在此语境下,香港左派电影族群却深受内地的影响,在创作上体现出了与内地电影的互文性,显现出了政治挂帅下概念化和公式化的美学同质化现象,出品影片渐渐远离了香港观众。相应地,香港电影产业也遭遇颓势,制片数量严重下滑,两地之间的电影输出输入也陷入了前所未有的低迷境况。直至内地改革开放之后,香港左派电影虽有一定的恢复,但颓势却未发生根本性的改变。

In the late 1960 s,the transformation into localization was initiated in Hong Kong society and film industry,with entertainment as the subject appeal. In this context,Hong Kong left- wing film production was,however,deeply influenced by the mainland trend,embodying intertextuality with mainland films. The productions,under the high banner of politics,turned out to be aesthetically homogeneous in terms of conceptualization and stereotypes,thus gradually detached from the Hong Kong audience. Meanwhile,the industry itself suffered depression with severely decreasing number of productions. The import and export of films between Hong Kong and the mainland also reached a historical low. After the reform and opening-up in mainland,the left- wing films recovered to some extent,but the declining trend on the whole was not reversed.
