Summary For almost half a century Hong Kong has been considered THE stronghold of the "EASTERN", films which captivate by the fact that a more or less talented kung fu expert struggles as an actor in action films. Over the years, the Hong Kong Chinese have developed an incredible range of bizarre aid techniques to free the actors from the laws of gravity. Success proves them right. The so-called "cookbook" of the younger directors uses these techniques, combines it with the plot of the script and the meal is ready. Jumps spanning 20 meters across the screen, preferably choreographed in pirhouettes and salti, have long been nothing unusual for the filmmakers of the Far Eastern metropolis. Today, modern computer-aided editing and animation techniques help to present the supernatural in an earthly way. "GO EAST" provides insights into the "making-off" of Hong Kong film, into the work on the nightly film sets along the Victoria Quay and - today more important than ever - into the digital trick studios of the Chinese film industry.
