Hong Kong wasn't a "country", it was a British colony until 1997 when control was handed back to the Chinese. Seeing how that was a 100 year agreement, I seriously doubt many films were produced before then. Thanks someone get it  Quoting Alien Redrum: Quote:
AESP, can you explain why Quebec should be a country of origin?
Not that I wouldn't like to, but it was asked to not turn this thread as a political one and it's hard to explain without doing so. | | | | Last edited: by Jimmy S |

| | Posted: | | | | If Quebec's film industry is largely distinct from Anglo Canada's, I'm all for a separate listing. Hong Kong has its own listing for similar reasons. |

Hong Kong was a "country" before it was "re-absorbed" into China. It should remain.
However, any movies made there now should list China as the CoO. That's not true. Hong Kong is still a separate entity in many regards (economically, politically, etc.), as they will not be fully returned to China until 2046. There is a huge difference when it comes to films. Whereas China can censor any films from the mainland, Hong Kong has no censorship. There have been several problems over the last few years when Hong Kong productions shoot their films on the mainland and the government there won't allow some of the footage to leave the country until cuts have been made. |

Not the reasons at all, but the Canucks who had bring this subject to be discuss (here and in the locked thread) will took the language argument, the distinct nation status that we have in this country (as recognize by the federal governement), all the past history since 1534, the distinct funding of our 2 industry, ... as political argument wich they aren't... If you can't see the difference between a canadian province with a different official language and a completly distinct industry (by the funding, the system and the target market) who is recognized as a nation by the federal power and an US states (who are more or less homogeneous, I don't write this in an offensive way) there aren't much else I can't say to explain it without being political. |

If you can't see the difference between a canadian province with a different official language Not all films made in Quebec are in French. In your view, should English-language movies made in Quebec use Canada as the CoO or Canada (Quebec)? Quoting AESP_pres: Quote:

the system and the target market) Not sure what you mean by "the system" but in terms of target market I can agree to a certain extent. The French-language films made in Quebec are certainly viewed more there than outside Quebec. That said, there's lots of Francophones living outside Quebec as well as Anglophones who view Quebec movies. And THAT said, I don't see why the viewers have anything to do with the CoO. Hollywood-made movies are viewed all over the world, yet I would never argue the CoO of those shouldn't be the United States. Quoting AESP_pres: Quote:
who is recognized as a nation by the federal power A nation, sure, but not a country. Are you saying movies made by the First Nations should have their own CoO too? | | | Tags, tags, bo bags, banana fana fo fags, mi my mo mags, TAGS!

| | Posted: | | | | Terry you won't be able to read my reply. But your article explain more the difficulties of the anglo-canadians cinema and the reasons why the French Canadian cinema works well in our province than why they are the same. But as you say it's an interesting article, but rough on my eyes since the text is small  |
