Movie Talk Series (1): The Dream of a Lost Traveller: The Films & Photography of Peter Yung (In Chinese)

Director, photographer and producer Peter Yung, who developed a knack for adventure at a young age, photographed and shot investigative documentaries for years before his first foray into dramatic filmmaking. The System (1979), his feature film debut, is one of the most important films of the Hong Kong New Wave. In the 1970s and 80s, he forged a new path in the film business with his professional knowledge and personal network as he produced works of societal, cultural and historical value.

The ‘Movie Talk' part of this book includes Yung's reminiscence of the complexity of his creative career. This book also features the storyboards, screenplay and interviews, thus revealing the meticulous planning and preparation behind the film. As for photography, a selection from his vast oeuvre is presented to demonstrate the artist's use of another medium to fulfill his ambition in communicating, exploring and commenting on various cultural and intellectual topics.
