摘要
Drawing upon archival documents, some of which had neither been published nor discussed, this article examines both successful and unsuccessful implementations of British film quotas in post-war Hong Kong and Singapore in order to consider the imperial connections with their film industries. In Singapore, the concept of 'British films in any language' was brought forth among controversies over implementing a quota bill aiming to extend to 'vernacular' (non-English) theatres; while in Hong Kong, British film quota remained applicable to only English theatres, and consequently, faced little challenge, until it was removed altogether in 1971.
