Written in the wake of the 2019–20 Hong Kong Protests ignited by the Anti-Extradition Bill Movement, Sia’s writings survey the rise of a new documentary vernacular being produced by a wave of emerging filmmakers breaking from the nostalgia of Hong Kong’s cinematic golden age. As a practitioner and thinker, Sia has been at the forefront of a nascent generation of artists working to trace social unrest and political crackdowns. Drawing from personal experience and historical study, her writings offer urgent reflections on a cultural landscape changed by censorship and surveillance.\u003cbr\u003eAn essential counterpart to her oeuvre, this volume is a critical intervention into global film studies, the politics of film\/photographic practices and experimental approaches to documentary. Film stills from filmmakers Chan Tze-woon and the anonymous collective Hong Kong Documentary Filmmakers, photographs by artist An-My Lê and images from Sia’s short film \u003ci\u003eThe Sojourn\u003c\/i\u003e (2023) are interspersed between each essay, inviting the reader to consider a cinema by other means. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57394948538750,"sku":"NW9798987624975","price":15.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9798987624975.jpg?v=1778677089","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/on-offscreen-imaginaries","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
