ANNA MAY WONG ~ FROSTED YELLOW WILLOWS and Other Updates

We have been very busy and haven't been able to post onto our Blog for a while.  What have we been doing?

We have been doing extensive research on Miss Anna May Wong, James Wong Howe, and other Asians involved with early film.  So far, the  2013 acquisition of rare photographs, magazines ( late-1910s -1970s), newspaper articles and other related period documents would put smiles on our Asian Pioneers in cinema.  We have been fortunate enough to obtain materials predominately during the silent film period which is also our main focus.  Our AMW~FYW II Team have been working very diligently in translating and identifying much of the addition to the Collection.

Our thanks to the many supporters of our endeavor since we started our initial project in 1997.  Since then, the interest and appreciation of Asians and Asian Americans in early cinematic history has grown immensely.  Their contributions as well as they themselves are slowly being recognized.

San Francisco Silent Film Festival 2012 - July 12th - 15th

Little Toys - (XIAO WANYI) China, 1933. Directed by Sun Yu. Cast: Ruan Lingyu, Li Lili -- The blend of romance and social commentary was a trademark of director Sun Yu’s work and he is considered one of the greatest filmmakers in Chinese history. Little Toys was voted one of the hundred best Chinese films by the Hong Kong Film Awards in 2005 and its beautiful star Ruan Lingyu is one of the great icons of Chinese cinema. She is superb as a rural traditional toymaker who moves with her daughter (Li Lili) to Shanghai after her husband dies and her son is kidnapped. Set in the late ’20s and early ’30s, Little Toys vividly captures a tumultuous time in Chinese history.
