泰剧爱的迷迭香

This film is about haunting memories of Asia's late 20th-century modernization. The story departs from a 1965 United States embargo on the hair trade, known as the "Communist Hair Ban". Yet, in every wig resides a ghost from the imperial past.Wigs were vital for the rise of the Asian economy in the post-war era. In the heyday of the 1960s, it was the number four export in Hong Kong's export-orientated industrialization. Between Mao's China - the largest source of hair supplies, and the insatiable Western market, Hong Kong functioned as the gateway. In 1965, U.S. Treasury Department imposed an embargo on "Asiatic hair", to cut off foreign currency to Communist China in the hair trade. The highly racialized category of "Asiatic hair" was later revised as "communist hair", to enable the wig industry to develop in U.S. allies including mainly South Korea and Japan, which led to a significant reconfiguration of light industry in East Asia. Departing from the moment of the communist hair ban, through stories of movement, diaspora and migration, this project examines the role of Hong Kong as a transient space that mediates and sanitizes the connection between different worlds, and the relationship between U.S. Imperialism and East Asia order in the Cold War era.Produced by: Ruoyao Jane YaoDirector of Photography: Yavuz Selim IslerCameraman (Hong Kong): Fai WanSound Recording: Franco van der LindeCasting Director: Sai-wang LauMakeup: Ika KartikaColor Grading: Bob LemmVoice-over:Jia Zhao, Hamza Junaid, Tommy TseCast:Zoenie Liwen Deng, Ruoyao Jane Yao, Zoe Tang, Michael de Ross, Sidney Vereycken, Sai-wang Lau, Jo-Lene OngProduced by:Geodesic Studio, Vines FilmsThanks toWAAG Society, Amsterdam16mm Film Transfer and ScanningAndec Filmtechnik, Berlin
