金門銀光夢 (2013)

Wissenswertes

Golden Gate Girls is a 2013 documentary film focusing on the life and works of Esther Eng (1914-1970), once honored as the first woman director of Southern China. She crossed boundaries of both gender and culture by making Cantonese language films for Chinese audiences during and after WWII. She was in fact the only woman directing feature-length films in America after Dorothy Arzner's retirement in 1943 and before Ida Lupino began directing in 1949. After her film career, she pioneered in establishing fine dining Chinese restaurants in New York City. She left her mark in both the Chinese and English press, enabling director S. Louisa Wei to recover some of her lost stories.

Production

The film is produced by Blue Queen Cultural Communication Ltd., a Hong Kong-based production company. Writer/Director S. Louisa Wei assisted Hong Kong director Susie Au in the production of Ming Ming, co-writing the script and helping the director obtain funds for the project. In 2012, she completed the script for Golden Gate Girls (a.k.a. Golden Gate, Silver Light) in both English and Chinese.
