Ann Hui
27 titles · hong kong new wave
Hong Kong's social conscience across five decades. Hui works in a plain, unshowy register and returns to displacement — Vietnamese refugees, mainland arrivals, the elderly poor, the women history declines to record. The most consistent register signal in the catalogue.
Signature
- Unobtrusive technique; the camera declines to editorialise.
- Older women as protagonists, rendered without sentimentality.
- Documentary attention to housing, wages and paperwork.
- Political rupture observed through domestic consequence.
