Asians in Art kicks off with British-Chinese film director Po Chih Leong, a pioneer who has charted his own distinct film making path, and whose films helped reshape Hong Kong’s cinematic landscape.

Throughout his career, Leong has used drama and comedy to explore the cultural tensions between East and West and the resilience of humanity amid violence and chaos.

Join Karuna, Szewah and Po Chih as they discuss his films, the diaspora experience and his biggest creative influence.

This podcast features Jumping Ash (1976), Hong Kong 1941 (1986) starring Chow Yun Fat, Cecilia Yip and Alex Man, Ping Pong (1986) starring Lucy Liu and David Yip, and The Jade Pendant (2017), based on the story by L.P. Leung, starring Clara Yee, Tzi Ma, Russell Wong, Godfrey Gao and Mark Boone Junior.
