Abstract
It is rare to find research or cinema programmes that place Hong Kong left-wing films made from the 1950s to 1970s within a global context of political films that deal with progressive politics that resist the dominant status quo; instead they are often marginalised as pertaining only to the Cold War context of Hong Kong within the ideological battles taking place between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Kuomintang (KMT). One rare exception to this rule was a short programme entitled ‘Beneath the Pavement’ that took place at BC Cinemateque in 2017 in Yau Ma Tei and was organised by M+.
