This interview contains information relative to the making of some movies in Hong Kong. The publishing date is 2004. This conversation is online only to keep the history of this cinema alive. Publishing this interview doesn’t reflect the HKCM position regarding the serious allegation in the media against Bey Logan in December 2017. HKCM doesn’t excuse nor condone his behaviour. The Hong Kong film industry has found its spokesperson, in the person of Bey Logan. He started defending this cinema in the English magazines Combat and Impact, then with his famous audio commentaries on HK Legends DVDs. Now based in Hong Kong with his family, he takes part in cinema by producing and writing scripts, and by playing in numerous films. Arnaud Lanuque met him in Hong Kong, here is the interview he had with this passionate man. |
