Stealing A Roast Duck
Stealing a Roast Duck () is a silent short directed by Liang Shao-Bo in 1909; it is considered the first film from Hong Kong. The film stars Lai Pak-hoi in a lead role, while Shao-Bo stars as the eponymous duck thief. Due to the Japanese destroying film to make bombs with nitrate, no copy of the film is extant; there has been doubt whether the film even actually existed. There are also signs that the film was shown in 1917 in Los Angeles, which would make it the earliest Chinese film with a foreign release.
