The Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) presents a tribute to a superstar of the golden age of Hong Kong cinema when it presents Focus on Linda Lin Dai for ten days from 17 February, 2011.

Linda Lin Dai was an acclaimed and much admired leading lady of Chinese films of the 50s and 60s. After being discovered via a picture displayed in a photographic studio window, Lin Dai began making movies at age 18. A talented actress and singer, her star shone brightest at the legendary Hong Kong-based Shaw Brothers studios; the powerhouse of the Chinese film industry and the 'stable' of the big stars of the era. All nine of the films exhibited in this season are from Lin Dai's time with the studio.
