About the Initiative

M+ Restored is a new initiative which aims to increase visibility of Hong Kong's rich cinematic heritage by presenting and leading the restoration of nine feature-length films. Launched as part of a three-year partnership between M+ and CHANEL in July 2023, this project highlights the creative experimentation and technical innovation of the Hong Kong New Wave cinema that emerged from 1979. Characterized by a stylistic and thematic shift from mainstream films, the Hong Kong New Wave has come to be defined by its many influential figures—such as Patrick Tam, Peter Yung, Ann Hui, Yim Ho, and Allen Fong—and a transnational spectrum of cinematic influences drawn from European art cinema and Hollywood productions, as well as American independent films. Gleaning from archival research, interviews with filmmakers, and analysis of extant film and video materials, M+ Restored offers a new opportunity to reevaluate the impact of the Hong Kong New Wave on the development of the local film industry and its lasting legacy in the formation of our collective cinephilia.
