Earlier this year, we received a donation of 425 titles on laserdisc from David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson. The majority of the laserdiscs are Hong Kong action films and other Asian films – many are connected to Bordwell’s research for the 2000 book Planet Hong Kong: Popular Cinema and the Art of Entertainment, which is also documented through research materials in the paper series of the Bordwell/Thompson collection. These laserdiscs showcase the genre fare of a vibrant film industry, mostly from the 1990s, with films from major distributors including Golden Harvest and Mei Ah Entertainment.
