HK:PM: Hong Kong Night Life 1974 - 1989 is a stunning visual record of photographer Greg Girard's earliest nocturnal wanderings in Hong Kong. From his first visits in the 1970s, and later, when he called the city home through the 1980s, HK:PM takes viewers through the city's neon lit streets and into tattoo parlours, dive bars and the hotel rooms of soldiers and sailors who frequented them. Other scenes depict the pre-dawn emptiness of Hong Kong s streets and alleys bathed in the colours of artificial light. With a foreword by award winning Hong Kong film maker Ann Hui, HK:PM adds a missing photographic link to the visual history of Hong Kong in the 1970s and 80s.

Japan's southernmost prefecture hosts a concentration of US military bases unlike anywhere outside the continental US. More than half the 50,000 troops stationed in Japan are stationed in Okinawa. This large military footprint, and the legacy of Okinawa's history as a US-administered territory until 1972, means that the social and physical landscape is shaped by this relation with the US like few other places.Hotel Okinawa looks at this unique world, on-base and off, separate and yet conjoined, the result of decades of living in close proximity with the US military.
