Hong Kong comedies of the 1980s and 1990s were beloved by audiences everywhere and continue to delight audiences of today.  A wide selection of highlights from the films will be presented in this exhibition.  A recreation of 1980s karaoke chambers features memorable songs from the films, providing an intimate environment for visitors to experience the cheerful atmosphere on screen.  In-depth analysis of the films is also offered by renowned actors and behind-the-scene filmmakers in oral history interviews, revealing the essence of Hong Kong humour by offering insights on scriptwriting, joke execution and acting techniques.  The exhibition also showcases cherished posters alongside a photo-op area with a classic comedy scene as background, transporting visitors into an immersive experience of joy and mirth.

2. 75 Years of Glamour Film Stills of Great Wall, Feng Huang, Sun Luen and Sil-Metropole (January 2026)
