This book explores 2010s Hong Kong film industry, focusing on its (presumably) independent sector. Although frequently mentioned in global film industry studies, the term âindependent filmâ does not always carry a clear meaning. Starting with this point, this book studies closely Hong Kongâs new indie cinema of the 2010s from political, economic, social, cultural, and film industrial perspectives, arguing that this indie cinema was vital to the long-term sustainability of the cityâs film industry.
