Biography

Hark Tsui, born in 1951, is a film director who began making experimental movies on 8mm film at 13, trained in film at the University of Texas in Austin and returned to Hong Kong in 1977 to work in television. His debut feature, The Butterfly Murders (1979), drew considerable attention and was treated by many as the start of a Hong Kong new wave. In 1984 he co-founded the production house Film Workshop, which backed Hong Kong classics including A Better Tomorrow (1986) and Sinnui yauwan (1987). A master of kung fu action, he made The Swordsman (1990), Once Upon a Time in China (1991) and Dragon Inn (1992), which helped set a new standard for the wuxia genre. He also served on the feature films jury at the Cannes Film Festival.
