Hong Kong Filmmakers Search

Biographies of filmmakers are one of the most important keys to understanding and researching their times and works. The ‘biographical notes' chapter is, therefore, a staple in many topical volumes published by the Archive over the years. To make searching easier, biographical notes contained in our previous publications are updated and made available online. Both local and overseas filmmakers who had worked in Hong Kong, including producers, directors, screenwriters, actors, cinematographers and editors are covered.
