August Story

But it's still not a feature film, is it? It's a short made for television re-edited to just over 60m -- which equates it to "feature length" in film speak, but still doesn't make it a "film" due to its television origins. Ah well, each to their own (set of beliefs)...

Yeah.. not sure if she should qualify to be in the list with that movie after all. (removed) Thanks!

Well, now I'm intrigued about the purpose of the criteria for this list. I realize the original post does specify female directors with three films, but why three films, in particular? Obviously, a female director with only one film under her belt is still a director (hell, even the TV episode qualifies as "direction"), so I'm curious to know why we're looking for triple-play ladies only?

Hehe, no there's no club , just that Im curious to see how many that actually reaches over that limit (approximately). Other female directors with only one or two movies directed (who perhaps have been working with something different as Yan Yan Mak for example) aren't discriminated even if they might have a great experience in their profession.

Probably far too late for this:

Never too late Brian, thanks Please let me know when you know someone more that can be added. There are now 19 directors in the list!

I realize that this is a fairly dead topic some two years later, but I just stumbled across a couple more female directors via the rotating posters on the main page, in this case a 1983 movie called I DO!.

However, these ladies, like others mentioned in this thread, don't quite qualify for the three-films rule, but since the rule was rather arbitrary in the first place (along with the "debate" it engendered above), I figured these ladies might deserve some credit for being able to helm more than one picture.

Annette Sam Yuet-ming (1-and-1/3 movies)
http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?i ... ay_set=eng

Angela Mak Leng-chi (2-and-1/3 movies; technically this means she worked on three films)
http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?i ... ay_set=eng

Their codirector on I DO!, Hilda Chan Chuk-chiu, only has 1/3 of that picture to her credit, but that still makes here a director!

Honestly, though, I'd love to see a list of ALL female Hong Kong directors, regardless of how many pictures they've done. Is their any way of searching such things in the DB?

Perhaps the original list can be upgraded to include directors with one or two pictures to their credit? If anyone's even interested anymore that is . . .

(mostly Taiwanese pictures, so hopefully that falls under Young Master's umbrella here! Is he even around anymore? )
