为庆祝新年，美国华人博物馆推出来自香港和中国大陆的贺岁片系列。贺岁片源于80年代早期许冠文执导的《摩登保镖》（1981）在香港的成功。该片成了“贺岁片”的典范。贺岁片作为庆祝新年的影片，具有以下两大特点：故事与新年有关，并且影片充满喜剧色彩。

中国著名影星及导演，比如张曼玉、成龙、梁朝伟、周星驰、周润发，及王家卫在他们早期的演艺生涯中都参加过“贺岁片”的演出。因为特有的闹剧效果和新年色彩，这些电影往往被主流社会所忽视。美国华人博物馆特约大众重新观赏贺岁片中的几部经典作品。

MOCA presents a series of Lunar New Year Films from Hong Kong and mainland China that celebrate the New Year. New Year Films originated in Hong Kong in the early 1980s with the success of Security Limited (1981) directed by Michael Hui. The movie became exemplary in the genre called “he sui pian,” or New Year celebration movies, which typically have two main features: the stories have something to do with the Chinese New Year and the films are crowd pleasers with comic entertainment.

Renowned Chinese actors and directors such as Maggie Cheung, Jackie Chan, Tony Leung, Stephen Chow, Chow Yun Fat, and Won Kar Wai have all participated in “he sui pian” in their early careers. With their slapstick quality and specificity to the New Year, these films are often overlooked by the mainstream. MOCA invites the community to revisit some of the iconic films of this genre.

Thursday, February 11 - The Eagle Shooting Heroes (1993), Directed by Jeffrey Lau; Produced by Wong Kar-Wai, 100 min.  In Cantonese with English subtitles.

Thursday, February 18 - Chinese Odyssey 2002 (2002), Directed by Jeffrey Lau; Produced by Wong Kar-Wai, 97 min.  In Mandarin with English subititles.
