...gray dust of construction clinging to his shoes, Lloyd Chao leads a visitor through one of the cavernous sound stages in the new Shaw Studios production complex, perched on a windy hillside in Hong Kong. In its heyday Shaw Bros. churned out hundreds of films for Chinese-language audiences around the world, leading an industry that, by the mid-1980s, made a city of 6 million the world's third biggest movie producer. That's when Shaw began to phase out film production in favor of TV. Though other studios filled the gap for a while, Hong Kong, which...
Spread across a manicured football field in groups of 10 or so, the children dart back and forth like the parts of a complex machine. In one group, they mark balls thrown in the air by Aussie Rules players from the St. Kilda Football Club. In another, they awkwardly practice handballing to the veteran players. They smack into tackling bags, play bullrush, and try to evade the tackles of lurking Saints. And they learn how to scoop balls off the turf and kick short into the muscled arms of two-time Brownlow medalist Robert Harvey...

Taken over by the Americans in 1951, the hospital was regarded for years by military doctors as a quaint backwater...
...based trio recorded its 2003 debut, “I Am the Fun Blame Monster,” using “Deeler,” a proprietary computer program written entirely by Brent Knopf, their giddy keyboardist. Knopf’s ace coding allowed the band to compose complex pop suites by looping and sequencing live improvisations into tricky recursive structures. The components of its instrumental arrangements swooped in and fell out of trapdoors, constantly intertwining and unraveling like the title’s dorkily brilliant anagram (“The First Menomena Album?...
...Locco Ritoro Gallery, on the upper level of the complex, features an exhibition by Utah-based painter Janet Shapero, called “Luminous Passages.” The works resemble paintings, but instead of canvases, Shapero has painted what appears to be window-screening; applying the paint in different thicknesses allows her to let more or less of the screen’s texture come through. The screens are marked by bright colors and rectangular designs, but an all-over marble pattern prevents them from being overly geometric. The exhibit runs through March...
