ASIAN MOVIE ARCHAEOLOGIST (AMA) is a new half-hour cultural TV program in Putonghua, Cantonese, and English, devoted to Asian cinema in general and Hong Kong/Chinese movies in particular. Our purpose is to fill the void that now exists on television when it comes to movie-related programs: they're either star gossip, PR promotion, or a combination of both. Not that there's anything wrong with those kinds of programs, but film buffs also hunger for something that delves beneath the surface yet still remains entertaining. AMA hopes to fill that void by exploring topics ranging from in-depth interviews with today's stars, to offbeat subjects in cinematic lore dating back to the birth of Asia's motion picture industry.

A unique aspect of AMA's behind-the-scenes team is the cooperation of film and media students from universities in such countries and regions as Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, Singapore, and Taiwan. Not only will AMA provide them with an opportunity to participate in media production and greater exposure to the movie world, but they in turn will help give AMA a young perspective even as the program explores nostalgic topics from Asian cinema's earliest days.
