二次大戰結束，香港重光，中國則很快陷入國共內戰。儘管香港不受政權更替所影響，但是中國政治的變遷卻對香港影業有著間接但強大的影響。在戰爭時留滬的上海影人被視為漢奸而避禍香港。資本雄厚的永華公司也因香港局勢較穩而在香港建立。國共都想在香港發揮影響力，在鬥爭中造成左派右派兩大陣營，在冷戰階段構成香港影業的基本格局。 Following the end of World War Two, Hong Kong was liberated from the Japanese occupation...

2009年香港政府曾大張旗鼓舉辦了多項慶祝香港電影100年的活動，最有意義也最反諷的一項活動是香港電影資料館在年底舉辦的一次學術研討會，因為有學者在會上提出有力證據，一百年之前的1909年那一年並沒有拍出第一部香港電影，第一部香港電影應該出現在1914年。第一部香港電影的討論是件既有趣也深具啟發性的歷史考據。出現了第一部電影並不等於會出現一個興旺的影業。香港能在1930年代發展出一個僅次於上海的華語電影影業，實受著...
