HONG KONG – Run Run Shaw, one of the pioneers of the 20th century Chinese film industry, has died at 106.

Shaw, who co-founded the Shaw Bros. film studio with his brother Runme, had been involved in the film industry in Shanghai and Singapore since age 19.

The Shaw Bros. company was in its heyday in the 1960s and 1970s and was influential in both the Asian and Western film industries. Its 760-title library is today operated by Hong Kong-based Celestial Pictures.

Shaw was also founder in 1967 of Television Broadcasts (TVB), Hong Kong’s dominant free-to-air broadcaster and still one of the major forces of content production and talent management in the region.

More to come…
