===Background=== | |||
'''Shaw Brothers''' was one of the largest and oldest film studios in Hong Kong. In 1925, Runje, Runme, Runde and Run Run '''Shaw''' founded the Shaw Organisation in Singapore as a distribution company. In 1930, they founded South Sea Films in Hong Kong, later renamed Shaw Brothers Studio. It is famous for its martial arts films. Today, Shaw Brothers only distributes films in Southeast Asia. The company went defunct in 2011 as it was reincorporated into the Clear Water Bay Land Company Limited. | |||
Today, a catalog of the pre-2002 library was held by [[Celestial Pictures]], while the reminder of the Shaw Brothers films after 2002 was still held by China Media Capital and [[TVB]]. | |||
