Hong Kong

Hong Kong vers 1960. Filme par Gilbert Gaeta/Hong Kong around 1960. Filmed by Gilbert Gaeta
I digitised this film by projecting the 16mm print and filming the screen directly from my iPhone, so the quality could be better. As for all my father's documentary films, if someone out there is interested in the 16mm film for archiving purposes please contact me - I do not have the room to store the films and they are degrading with time so it would be good for them not to be lost.

Those water beetles are now extinct because of urban developments and severe pollution. They can't survive.

Many thanks for preserving such invaluable films for us. I am a resident of Hong Kong and am trying to use AI to better the quality of old films. I find this video is especially valuable so I'd like to produce an AI-enhancement of it and post it on my youtube channel. May I have your permission to do so? If you like, I can send you a copy. 🌻
Best wishes, from Cat Chan.

Sure, very happy to! My only condition is that you acknowledge my father (Gilbert Gaeta) in the post.

I am very grateful for your generosity. Surely due credits will be given to your father without whom such precious records would be lost. 🌻

Water Beetles are protein rich insects. In the O days, Chinese boiled them, removed insert skins, White colour protein is ready for serve. I saw this before but haven't taste this insects.

60年代(香港環境比較干淨)多數係夜晚高架街燈上飛躍見到，用長棒網袋捕捉後清洗干淨後，用油炒熟去壳食→係非常之好味道~美味到指甲留香之食品(當時街上也有見人售賣)🤤😋😋

Beautiful warm colors. Love the shots of the Tiger Balm Gardens. What a pity that the Hong Kong CCP Government destroyed the neon culture that defined Hong Kong.

係萬金油(胡文虎)胡先後代貪錢，高價把祖地變賣比咗地產商去起豪宅的~明白未😢

@tsewing9641 樓主冇話港共政府摧毀虎豹别墅喎，佢只係話港共政府摧毀香港嘅霓虹燈文化，你睇清楚啲。
