MISCELLANEOUS * (2026/06/23) Film star Stephen Chow Sing Chi yesterday turned 64 and took the opportunity to announce that his new film SHAOLIN WOMEN'S SOCCER (GONG FU NUI JOOK) would be released next month to take advantage of the World Cup boom. Currently busy with the post production, he wasasked how he would respond if the film failed to meet the release schedule. He replied, "One day I will be able to catch up." The Chow Sing Chi directed the film GONG FU NUI JOOK earlier was said to be scheduled for a summer vacation release. Yesterday he took advantage of his 64th birthday and announced that the film will be released next month. With his back to the camera, he personally answered when asked about the release date of the film. "I am working hard to make July 10th." Then he added that if he could not make it, it would be an one-week delay, "Then July 17th." When asked again if he still failed to catch up how would he deal with the release, Chow Sing Chi replied, "One day I will be able to catch up!" He also shared a hand-drawn "concept poster", as some online joked that the film had a "flexible release date". GONG tells the story of the women's soccer "Emei team" championship run against the tide, which could be described as taking full advantage of the World Cup boom. The lineup was also of great concern. In addition to Zhang Xiaofei, Dilraba and Zhang Yixing, Korean actor Song Kang-ho would be a guest referee. Former national team athletes Zhao Lina and Li Jiayue were also invited to participate in the performance. In addition, for the 11th consecutive year, "Sing Girl" Jelly Lin Yun sent birthday wishes for Chow Sing Chi, writing, "Happy birthday to my coolest and most handsome Sing Yeh." Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi and Sisley Choi Si Bui also wished him Happy Birthday. * (2026/06/23) Anita Yuen Wing Yee, Jennifer Yu Heung Ying, Ali Lee Kai Sum, Siuyea Lo Chun Yip, Ti Lung, Michelle Yim (Mai Suet), Carman Kwan Ka Man, etc., attended the production start worship ceremony of the new film YUK MONG GEI SUN (DESIRE PARASITE). Two generations of Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actresses Len Len and Yu Heung Ying shared the screen for the first time. Playing close friends in the film, they also became familiar off screen rapidly as they mutually admired each other; Len Len even revealed that she personally chose Yu Heung Ying to co-star with. Len Len after 7 years worked on another Hong Kong film production film. She admitted that the sincerity of director Terry Ng Ka Wai impressed her. In the early years she has heard the director share the story and encouraged the director to write a script. The director also let her choose the co-stars, full of sincerity. Yu Heung Ying caught Len Len's eyes from the list of candidates and felt that she was highly identifiable and fit the role. She joked that the director perhaps has already had her in mind and only politely consulted her. Yu Heung Ying was touched when she heard about it. "I only find out about this now." Yu Heung Ying admitted that she has never played material about two women before, and cherished the opportunity very much. She was the happiest that she could look at Len Len for two days at work. "She is really beautiful, a goddess, a nice and friendly person." Len Len also praised Yu Heung Ying was focused and easy to get along with. Although this was the first time they collaborated, the director arranged for them to meet and have a table read of the script. She also did some research on Yu Heung Ying and watched her performance, so they quickly became familiar so they did not need a lot of time to mesh before they were able to easily get into characters. Was Yu Heung Ying under pressure in the face of the elder Best Actress? Len Len smiled, "I think she didn't, because she had full mastery of acting." Yu Heung Ying admitted that she had pressure at the beginning, even having to consider what to call her again and again. Finally she decided to return to call her "Len Len". In addition both were mothers, so they often share the parenting experience. They quickly became familiar. Len Len said that her 19-year-old son Morton Cheung Mo Tung has returned to Hong Kong for summer vacation and become more independent. She would not have to be too concerned, and did not want his son to enter the profession. She thought that his personality was shy, but also suggested that Yu Heung Ying to take advantage of the best time to play with her children now. Busy with work, would Len Len not have time to spend time with her son? She joked that at this stage as long as her son came home to sleep, being able to see each other was already very good. She would not have too much restrictions. Regarding Father's Day, Len Len pointed out that her family did not have a strong sense of ritual. On Father's Day and Mother's Day they usually celebrated with family dinners. The relationship between her husband Julian Cheung Chi Lam and their son was like two brothers, they could eat together and chat for several hours. She joked that she would not be jealous, instead she would be able to learn more about her son's updates from her husband's mouth. On Father's Day, Yu Heung Ying's daughter received 90 points and won the prize at a piano competition, and the whole family was very proud and happy. Speaking of the 20 some year old Lillian Sze Ho Ying who passed away due to ovarian cancer, Yu Heung Ying who has worked with her on several films could not hide her sorrow, get choked up and said, "Thank you for attending so many audience appreciation screenings with me, I wish she would be without illness or pain in another place." Television Best Actress Lee Kai Sum has had endless film offers after leaving her nest. Ali revealed that she would play a female cop in the film, the character would be neurotic and a little strange. She enjoyed acting opposite two Best Actress Yuen Wing Yee and Yu Heung Ying on the first day of work, stating that she benefited a lot from their performance. Has she discussed acting with the two off camera? She said that because the film had fewer actors, they also had less free time together. Mostly they talked about trivial things so she has not have the chance to get too deep into discussion with them. "From acting with them of course I am under pressure, but once at the mark I would naturally get into the character. I can interrogate them, and watch them cry in a few seconds. Yuen Wing Yee is forced to show her pitiful look." Speaking of rumors that she has accepted many film offers. Ali clarified that all the related collaborations were still in the negotiation stage. "Film ultimately takes time and have a lot of variables. In other words it's always changing back and forth, sometimes you think it may be a lock but it may not necessarily be." Speaking of her ViuTV adaption of the classic Japanese drama LONG VACATION, she revealed that she has received the drama's working scripts and estimated the official production would start in September. * (2026/06/23) The film DOG DAY EVENING (YUT GOR BO MOON DIK DAN SUN) is in release now. The film on the surface is an absurd "service termination" dispute that triggered a hostage crisis, behind which the little people's helplessness and toughness in surviving between the gaps of the system were brought out. Rachel Leung Yung Ting cut her hair short in the film and transformed into an explosive female police officer in full contrast; the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress Fish Liew Chi Yu dressed as a mascot and turned into a "keyboard warrior" to vent her emotions. Leung Yung Ting played the female police officer who rescued hostages in the film. The character had a strange personality. Ill tempered and grumpy, she always adhered to his belief. She smiled and said that she has been a vegetarian for 12 years. Her temperament was always gentle, so interpreting the explosive side was difficult. She thanked her co-stars. Playing police officers, Kumer So Sun Yu (Grizzly) and Edward Chui Woai Dong were both six feet and gave a contrast with the petite her, perfectly supporting her character's presence. Fish played the TV station part tine worker "Lucky", who gave away leaflets and dressed as mascots normally. A few steps slower than others, she unexpectedly became one of the hostages. She admitted that the character was quite similar to her, "I like to hide behind the characters through acting, exploring human nature or using characters to release different aspects of the heart." She said that "Lucky" hid in the mascot costume and would make a variety of "lewd" action. Normally she would be very timid, but on the Internet she was a radical "keyboard warrior". She had a lot of anger in the heart want to vent, in the film her blue hair was her own disguise to protect herself. Did she have a lot of rage inside? Fish admitted, "I do! When something isn't expected or feels undeserved, I would really want to talk about it; however I would be dumb at the mouth and would stutter like Lucky. I didn't know how to release the rage, feeling that my temper would turn bad. Now I would transfer my energy, like stomping my feet and exercising." Would she release it on her boyfriend? She smiled and said, "Haha, like what! In short I would release the energy and would not immediately lose my temper." Regarding the blue hair look in the film, Fish revealed that due to excessive bleaching, the hair of the back of her head fell out and would not grow back. She once needed a wig to cover it. She joked that Leung Yung Ting was even more extreme, almost "completely shaved". Leung Yung Ting said with a smile, "I think it's great, this time is the shortest since I was three years old. The short hair style makes the character more vivid, but it only lasted half a year as I had to grow my hair long again for work." As for dressing up as a mascot for the shoot, Fish pointed out that in the first three groups of scenes she had to dress up as the mascot and did not need makeup. Although the shoot took place between autumn and winter, the studio set was very stuffy and dusty. When I ran I kept sweating, fortunately I was thin enough to take it. In addition I didn't need to line up for make up, once on the set I could just put on the mascot's head and start work. It was relatively convenient. Have they ever had the experience of unable to end a contract? Leung Yung Ting shared that she has joined the fitness center membership, and found hidden details after paying by credit card. To cancel, she needed three months advanced notification. "I still had to pay the remaining three months. Losing three months of membership fee was quite a sting." She lamented that electronic payment methods often have hidden many consumer traps. Liew Chi Yu admitted that she was afraid of trouble and has never changed her phone number since she started in the business. Fish said that after watching the movie that Leung Yung Ting's comedic genes surprised her, praising her performance as wild with a full contrast. Leung Yung Ting humbly said that the role was attributed to the director and the writer's good writing, and asked negotiation experts for advice in advance in order to play the female police officer well. "The purpose of the negotiation is to arrest someone but not to them feel that they are suspects. I have to keep assisting him, and only take action at the right moment." She said frankly, "Our generation of actors have rarely had the opportunity to play the police film, so during the performance we have to be extra careful and strive to show the police's 'presence'. We have to be convincing even when holding a gun." Playing a customer service employee, Michael Ning (Bak Ji) found the dialogues to be a challenge. "I have taken customer service calls, when I hear the robotic reading of the contract terms I thought was it quite a bother. This time I am play this type of character, I discover the difficulty of imitating the dialogue delivery speed and learn to respect this profession." Bak Ji said that he has long heard about junior colleague Mak Pui Tung's performance from his buddy Alan Yeung Wai Lun and was very happy to have scenes with him in the film. "This time with Mak Pui Tung I could only lay defense. He scored points in both acting and comedy. In the film he and I are both hostages, while being held captive he had an accident from an upset stomach on the spot. With the art director's very realistic props he was able to perform seriously and express the helpless. Even I feel bad for him! This scene feel is hard to grasp, if I play his role I wouldn't know how to handle it." Bak Ji said that dark comedy was difficult to play to begin with, in addition this movie had more group scenes. He could not only worry about his own creation and had to coordinate with the cast and the crew. He thanked the director for being willing to invest in resources, arranging for the entire team to rehearse for two days on the set. * (2026/06/20) The Dayo Wong Tze Wah, Michael Hui Koon Man starred, Anselm Chan Mou Yin directed film THE LAST DANEC (POR. DEI YUK) has grossed over HK$ 170 million at the Hong Kong and Macau box office to become the highest-grossing Chinese-language film in Hong Kong. Director Chan Mou Yin has long hoped to work with the cast of THE LAST DANCE again. Recently he has secretly started work on a new film that featured not only the original team of THE LAST DANCE but also added Best Actress Karena Lam Ka Yan. The team initially expressed interest in Michelle Yeoh (Yeung Chi King) and Tang Wei, but the former was unable to participate due to scheduling conflicts and Tang Wei was unable to due to pregnancy. Lam Ka Yan appreciated the creative team and decided to fully cooperate with the production. THE LAST DANCE starred Wong Tze Wah, Hui Koon Man, Michelle Wai Sze Nga, Tommy Chu Pak Hong. It not only set box office records but also earned Wai Sze Nga her first Best Actress award at the Hong Kong Film Awards; Chu Pak Hong won Best Supporting Actor, and Chan Mou Yin won Best Screenplay in impressive showings. Chan Mou Yin has repeatedly expressed hope for THE LAST DANCE team to collaborate again. Recently he has ben said to have secretly started filming a new film for some time. In addition to the original team from THE LAST TIME that included Wong Tze Wah, Hui Koon Man, Wai Sze Nga and other actors, the investors hoped to further strengthen the cast. Aside from inviting an all star guest star line up, the investors also would like an internationally renowned Best Actress for the lead. The production team initially invited Oscar-winning actress Yeung Chi King to star, but after multiple negotiations the collaboration was ultimately canceled due to scheduling conflicts. Later the production team turned to invite Tang Wei, and negotiations were lively. However Tang Wei later announced she was pregnant with her second child and had to stop work, causing another change in the female lead. Since the filming schedule and set arrangements could no longer be delayed, the team ultimately decided to have Golden Horse Best Actress Lam Ka Yan fill the role. Lam Ka Yan won the Golden Horse Best Actress award in 2015 for ZINNIA FLOWER. She has a good relationship with lead actor Wong Tze Wah, so a solid foundation of chemistry has long been established. Sources said that Lam Ka Yan greatly admired the creative team behind THE LAST DANCE and quickly adjusted her work schedule after being invited and fully cooperated with the production. Reportedly the team has been secretly working on the film for some time, with the production being wrapped up by the end of July at the earliest. The subject matter and story of director Chan Mou Yin's new film were still highly confidential, which has already made fans very eager to see if it would be able to achieve new box office success. In addition Chan Mou Yin' script FOOD IS HEAVEN (YIN SIK GEI) was selected as one of the funded film projects for the government's 'Film Production Grant Scheme For Promoting Chinese Culture,' receiving up to HK$ 10 million in production fees. In an interview Chan Mou Yin stated that FOOD IS HEAVEN was adapted from the novel of the same name by contemporary writer Ge Liang, which has won numerous awards in the literary world. The story revolved around two generations, chronicling the legendary lives of Cantonese cuisine masters and their apprentices. He has read the novel before and knew that several Hong Kong directors have read it and hoped to adapt it into a film; Chan Mou Yin and Ge Liang's connection began with THE LAST DANCE. He said that Ge Liang was very demanding, having worked with several directors but felt none was a good fit until after watching THE LAST DANCE. He gave him the book out of appreciation that he has preserved a lot of traditional Chinese culture in the film. Ge Liang always wanted to find a director he could connect with and turn the story into a film; coincidentally the government launched the 'Film Production Grant Scheme For Promoting Chinese Culture,' Chan Mou Yin obtained the rights from Ge Liang and submitted the script application. At the time Chan Mou Yin said that with such a good script, of course he wanted the best cast. He remembered how pleasant working with the cast of THE LAST DANCE and really wanted everyone to reunite. He showed FOOD IS HEAVEN and several other scripts to Hui Koon Man and Wong Tze Wah, letting them choose whichever suited them before making a decision. [ In Production Now/Soon ] d.

Keane Wong Tak Kin Stephen Fung Tak Lun, Chrissie Chau Sau Na, Myolie Wu Hung Yi, Angela Yuen Lai Lam, Alan Yeung Wai Lun, Length : 122 mins. Opening June 12 2026 at the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival Opening July 21 2026 at the 25th New York Asian Film Festival [ 25TH NEW YORK ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL ] A celebrated stage director stakes everything on what is meant to be his swan song, even as his marriage comes apart. He casts a complete unknown as his female lead, only for his ex, now a movie-star diva, to sweep in, seize the role, and bump the newcomer down to understudy. As opening night bears down, he settles on a drastic plan in the name of true art. Keane T.K. Wong makes his feature directorial debut, mentored by Derek Yee, with a gleefully irreverent satire of show-business vanity and dysfunctional love, dragging the Hollywood screwball comedy into present-day Hong Kong. Stephen Fung leads a powerhouse ensemble with Myolie Wu, Chrissie Chau, and Angela Yuen. [ 28TH SHANGHAI INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ] Afterpiece begins with a man at an impasse. Owen, once a celebrated stage director, has spent more than a decade lost in creative paralysis. His former lover, Su Manling, re-enters his life under the guise of old affection, while his wife, Tracy, teeters on the edge of betrayal. Determined to reclaim his dignity, Owen sets out to write, direct, and star in a new work of his own. Yet during the open casting process for the female lead, he becomes deeply drawn to Hannah, an untrained newcomer, and gradually slips into a dangerous space between theatre and reality. This is not a film about the stage -- it is a film about why people drive themselves onto it. As Owen is forced to perform the roles of "director", "husband", "former lover", and "creator" beneath the gaze of four women, and as rehearsal becomes a rehearsal for real life itself, the theater ceases to be a refuge; instead, it becomes a mirror that exposes what lies beneath. What Keane Wong's screenplay seeks to approach is the fissure illuminated by the spotlight: Is a person truly creating a role, or merely escaping from himself? The answer is destined to be revealed, in all its loss of control, on opening night.

Mary Stephen (Suet Mei Lin) Documentary Rating : IIA Length : 109 mins. Opening at the Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival Opening April 9 2026 at the 50th Hong Kong International Film Festival Opening June 18 2026 [ THE GOLDEN HORSE FILM FESTIVAL ] This poetic documentary blends old photographs, letters, and contemporary footage to explore two parallel "Stephen" families - Virginia Woolf's and the director's own - unfolding in Hong Kong and mainland China between the 1930s and 1960s. Set against colonial rule, war, and revolution, the film quietly examines identity, empire, and memory, bridging personal history with broader political shifts to connect with audiences on both intimate and historical levels. [ THE 50TH HONG KONG INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ] Mary Stephen takes her Western name as the starting point for a multi-layered exploration of identity and family, beginning with uncovering the notebooks of her father, Henry Stephen. They reveal a literary account tracing her lineage to Australia, yet complicate accounts and reveal obfuscated identities. Against the epoch- defining backdrop of British colonialism and Chinese migration, Palimpsest explores the universal desire to uncover one's origins and the power of the narratives we tell ourselves in the process. Best Documentary Feature and Best Film Editing, Golden Horse Awards. [ BROADWAY CIRCUIT ] "With this film, I continue doing what I've always done as an editor and director: telling stories that intrigue and move me, stories wrapped in mystery." Spanning eight decades and four continents, filmmaker and editor Mary Stephen embarks on a personal investigation into her English surname. It is not intended to be a narcissistic exploration but rather an effort to uncover the dissonances and the contradictions in our heritage that, in spite of our all-too-human desire for harmony and continuity, are the fundamental elements that shape us. It is in this spirit that this intimate journey unfolds. Drawing from her father's home movies and diaries, family photographs, her own travel footage, fragments of oral history and official archives, Stephen constructs a layered, polyphonic narrative where personal memory and collective history converge. The film traverses a turbulent period in China's past -- marked by the fall of a fading dynasty, civil war, Japanese invasion, and the eventual rise of the Communist Party. Against this backdrop, Hong Kong -- under British colonial rule since 1842 -- emerges as a paradoxical space, where Western modernity collides with Eastern heritage: a city of one million Chinese governed by twenty thousand Europeans. The film moves between Hong Kong's working-class neighborhoods, where schoolteacher Hilda Yik marries laborer Chan Tik-Fong amid petty trade and Hollywood dreams; to Wuhan, where British intellectual Julian Bell -- son of Vanessa Bell and nephew of Virginia Woolf -- engages in a scandalous affair with a renowned married Chinese writer; to far-flung places like the Australian outback, Montreal and Toronto, London and Cambridge, Paris and Cassis in the south of France, tracing unlikely crossings and quiet revolutions. How, and why, did Hilda Yik and Chan Tik-Fong eventually become Hilda and Henry Stephen? Mary Stephen assembles a delicate, fragmented mosaic meditation on reinvention, on the irresistible temptation to rewrite one's story, and on the universal human impulse to fictionalize the self.

The robot looks and behaves exactly like Kakeru, with Otone embracing its arrival as Kensuke struggles to accept it. Living with "him" seems to restore the flow of time within the family, yet gradually exposes the unspoken wounds and lingering regrets each parent carries after the loss.

Written and directed by Kore-eda, this original story is set in the near future, where a couple takes in a state-of-the-art humanoid into their home as their son.

FLYING SWORDS OF DRAGON GATE 3D d. Tsui Hark Jet Li, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, Gwei Lun-mei Length : 125 mins. Opening on June 7 2026 (Sun) [ BROADWAY CIRCUIT ] If a Wuxia subgenre could have evolved from King Hu's Dragon Gate Inn (1968), Tsui Hark would be the one to have the greatest credit, because this film continues the storyline of the 1992 Dragon Inn, reimagining a fresh installment in the same series. It features the internal power struggles within the inn, blended with desert treasure hunts, palace intrigue, and undercover machinations by the Eastern and Western Depots, forming a grander Wuxia world. Tsui Hark has long pushed the boundaries of Chinese-language filmmaking through continual exploration and experimentation. Following the then-burgeoning 3D technology in Hollywood, this film is the first Chinese-language Wuxia film to be released in 3D. Tsui Hark drew on 3D techniques from around the world and fused them with Wuxia. The desert tornado fight from Dragon Inn could not be perfected due to technical limits, but with advances in computer- generated effects, this scene evolves into an underground imperial palace beneath a black sandstorm, giving it a fantastical new look. The 3D version will be shown in this screening. Each ticket includes a pair of 3D glasses. Post screening talk with Yuen Bun & Elson Cheng The post-screening talk will be conducted in Cantonese.

King Sky, the lone survivor of Kunlun Clan, carrying his master Dawn's memories and her weapon Moon Orb, teams up with the Omei Clan's Whitebrows, Red, and Enigma, among others, to unite against the looming catastrophe that could devastate the universe. Eighteen years after Zu: Warriors from the Magic Mountain appeared, Tsui Hark returns to Zu with an expanded, grander vision. The film presents a complex, tightly woven logic among immortals, demons, and humans, with an endless stream of extraordinary techniques, divine weapons, and magical realms. Its fantastical visuals and whimsical ideas are among the most vibrant in Hong Kong cinema. The Legend of Zu exemplifies Tsui Hark's skillful use of allegory, expressing his frustration and ambition through a troupe of celestial swordsmen and immortals during Hong Kong cinema’s darkest hour. How to be reborn? How to save oneself? How to handle the burdens, memories, and sentiments of the past—cling to them or sever ties? These are the core questions of the film, and Tsui Hark's rallying cry remains sharp and timeless.

Daniel Lee Yan Kong Jet Li (Lee Nin Kit), Sean Lau Ching Wan, Karen Mok Man Wai Length : 98 mins. Opening on May 31 2026 [ BROADWAY CIRCUIT ] Tsui Hark has always harbored a strong interest in Japanese animation, but from I Love Maria to The Wicked City he served only as producer, not director. This time, adapting Li Chi-ak's comic Black Mask, he also brings in Daniel Lee, who previously impressed him with The Mystery of the Condor Hero, to helm the project. With Lee's unique visual style and a reunion of Tsui, Jet Li and Yuen Woo-ping, the film aims to present a local sci-fi superhero in a futuristic urban action thriller, offering a refreshing blend. Tsui is a painless killer in the secret Squad 701. To evade capture, he disguises himself as a librarian, drawing the attention of colleague Tracy. He also befriends detective Stone. His former mentor and protégé in Squad 701 come to Hong Kong for a major heist, and Tsui helps Stone in a Black Mask persona, leading to high-octane confrontations. Jet Li's Black Mask look and rugged fighting style clearly pays homage to the Bruce Lee character in The Green Hornet. The film's level of violence surpassed Western standards at the time, and the English-dubbed version proved popular in the North American market, helping Li and Yuen Wo-ping make their mark in Hollywood soon afterwards. This screening features a 2K restoration. Post screening talk with Daniel Lee & Li Cheuk-to The post-screening talk will be conducted in Cantonese. SHANGHAI BLUES 2024 (4K RESTORATION) d.

Tung and Shu pledge to meet again after the war once victory is achieved, as the war rages on around them beneath a bridge. Ten years later, they return to Shanghai and fail to realise that they are upstairs-downstairs neighbours, and after a twist of fate they recognise each other. Shu, seeing Stool fall for Tung, chooses to leave and board a train to Hong Kong. Tsui Hark uses exaggerated, slapstick-style staging to create a series of mistaken identities, while also delivering heartfelt, tearful moments. Set in pre-liberation Shanghai, the film evokes a palpable sense of historical nostalgia when mirrored against Hong Kong's path ahead. This new restored version marks the 40th anniversary of Film Workshop and features a 4K restoration with re- recorded dialogue in Shanghainese, Mandarin, Cantonese, and even French, plus new sound mixing.

Unfolding in the faded opulence of Tsim Sha Tsui's Mirador Mansion, it charts an unlikely bond between grizzled veteran Tai Bo and rising star Kuku So he a mysterious rescuer, she a teenager running away from her mother's abusive partner. At first Alice (the Wonderland echoes ring deliberately) rebuffs her grizzled savior's gallantry. But their shared loneliness catalyzes a fraught rapprochement amid the mansion's crimson-lit maze. Chow wields colorful yet noirish atmospherics with a maestro's command, the dank stairwells and flickering fluorescents conjuring palpable peril. As this intricate two-hander hurtles toward its cathartic climax, you'll be gasping not just from the suspense, but from sensing the new lifeblood pulsing through the story. In the live wire intensity between Chow's protagonists burns the fierce promise of the arthouse's inheritance of Hong Kong's pulp legacy.

Injustice has reigned over the quiet town of Shek O in Hong Kong. Chu Po is a young masked vigilante out to help those in need and kick a baddie s ass. Just as her social-media popularity increases, so do her frequent injuries, as she learns that her beginner's skills may be no match for those of more experienced fighters. Fate draws her to a local church infested with illicit drug-dealing activities. She soon realizes her connection to that church is more personal than expected as there's a link to her family's past. Should she simply stay in the shadows and pray for a miracle, or put her karate chops to good use? An rejuvenated ode to both THE KARATE KID and the action heroines of Hong Kong's Golden Age, the latest from director Ricky Ko after his award-winning TIME (Fantasia 2021) once again nicely combines nostalgia and modernity with a potent mix of martial arts, humour, sweetness, and compelling characters, OUT OF THE SHADOW offers a guaranteed good time, a reminder of why we love HK movies so much in the first place. Starring several rising stars from Hong Kong, including two actors reunited after Fantasia favourite PORT OF CALL (2015), OUT OF THE SHADOW is fresh off several Asian festivals, and makes its first stopover in the West at Fantasia before it hits its home territory this fall. King-Wei Chu [ OASKA ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL 2024 ] Chu Po is a sprightly teenage girl with a strong sense of justice but her mother, Tao Kuen Ying, would rather they keep a low profile in the fishing town of Tai O. However, people are in need and Po decides to take action after learning a little karate. She soon becomes an internet heroine but keeps it a secret from Tao until she gets in over her head when she comes to the aid of Pastor Hung and his handsome son, Man Chun, who find their church is the front of a drug ring. This is when Tao reveals a secret crime-fighting history of her own. Ricky KO, director of Time (2021, OAFF2022), delivers a playful vigilante film, complete with laughs, fighting, Cantonese humour, and a touch of family drama unfold in the beautiful setting of Tai O. Despite the humour, the message has some moral messages: that one must do the right thing, help others and also know when to seek help.

However, when the sawmill faces compulsory eviction by the government for its Northern Metropolis development project, the survival of this successful family-owned business becomes a modern David-versus-Goliath story.

Opening July 26 2025 [ BROADWAY CIRCUIT ] Nestled between the skyscrapers of Hong Kong, housing some of high finance's most creative minds, and the gleaming glass and steel boxes of Shenzhen, China's Silicon Valley where the future is being built, lies a hidden world no less exceptional. In this lost country backwater of mountains and vegetable fields, factories still manufacture soy sauce in century old clay pots; Kenny hand makes concrete spacers that hold up some of the world's longest suspension bridges. Cha Guo shines light on the lives of the villagers, craftsmen, farmers and business owners who make up this local village's close-knit community. The people s philosophy and signature are their resilience and their dedication. They embody "Made in Hong Kong" over generations. Cha Guo celebrates the heroes of Hong Kong and the fabric of what makes it and its people synonymous with warmth and the ubiquitous "can do" attitude. The title Cha Guo embodies the many narratives that connect older generations to the younger through the sharing of something savory and heart-warming.

In what feels like a 21st century update of classical silent film adventures, Yuen's dialogue-free endeavour follows three insects, who attempt to flee the big city after they are forcibly removed from their natural habitat.

Instead, the app gives him four Zeldas, each with a different life and story. For each one, he cooks a meal, part flirtation, part confession, as if the right dish might recover the person he was, or the future he missed. Amos Why, director of the beloved Far Far Away (NYAFF 2022), and co-director Frankie Chung serve a funny, tender Hong Kong romance about old flames, new disappointments, and the strange comfort of not moving on. Around the table, the film catches a food culture under threat, and the small, stubborn memories that survive in what people cook for one another. [ 50TH HONG KONG INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ] While trying to keep his struggling business afloat, a chef goes on a dating app in search of Zelda, his crush from his chatroom days as a teenager. For each Zelda he meets, he makes a tailor-made meal to fit their story. Putting a spotlight on the city's struggling restaurant sector, indie filmmaker Amos WHY and his co-director Frankie Chung's unconventional and bittersweet road movie follows a rootless man who turns to his memories to avoid confronting his unknown future. Is it better to drift with uncertainty, or to stay in your comfort zone whilst tethered to a sinking ship? SPARE QUEENS Can : Dai Fun Jung Lit : Big Split d.

They must put their differences aside, and face new challenges together. [ 50TH HONG KONG INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ] In bowling, there is nothing more daunting than the 7-10 split, which leaves two side pins in a position that is almost impossible to knock down. In this stirring sports film, the infamous split serves as a metaphor for not only a long-standing rivalry between two retired female bowlers, but also rare second chances to correct past mistakes. Produced by the team behind sleeper hit Love Lies (48th), this directorial debut shows us that bowling involves far more than just hitting wooden pins with a ball it requires precise timing, immense strength, and grace under pressure.

Now comes his boldest work yet, chosen to close the 50th Hong Kong International Film Festival. Taking its title from Mei Chaofeng, the fierce wanderer of wuxia legend, Cyclone follows a young trans woman who leaves mainland China for Hong Kong, and falls in love while working to save for gender-affirming surgery and reckoning with a traumatic past. In the city's back alleys and transient rooms, she falls in with Ah Bian, whose affection comes tangled with damage and drug use, and Xiaomei, who lets her glimpse another way of being a woman. Yung turns exile, desire, and self- remaking into a bruised Hong Kong nocturne. [ INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ROTTERDAM ] Named after a figure from martial-arts literature, Cyclone follows a wanderer travelling from mainland China to Hong Kong in search of gender-affirming surgery. As the journey unfolds, desire and identity blur, echoing Philip Yung's portrait of a city continually redefining its sense of belonging. Cyclone is a curious title, alluding to one of modern martial-arts literature and cinema's most tragic heroines: Mei Chaofeng, often translated as Cyclone Mei. Like her literary counterpart, Cyclone is a wanderer, travelling from the People's Republic of China to Hong Kong in search of gender-affirming surgery. Yet the longer the journey takes, the less certain she becomes of her desire. The identity in question and the passage undertaken reach beyond the individual. Yung is also thinking of Hong Kong, a place whose identity is constantly questioned and that keeps searching for a sense of its own belonging. Although internationally known for multilayered crime films such as Where the Wind Blows (2022), Philip Yung has long been drawn to more intimate stories. Cyclone feels like a place where everything he cares about has found a home. The narrative is both sprawling and concentrated, profoundly personal yet resonant with the experience of a people. It moves across temporal, regional and cultural barriers with clarity and grace, all the while maintaining an effortless visual beauty. - Vanja Kaludjercic [ 50TH HONG KONG INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ] Anchored by a powerful performance by Liu Yuqiao as the eponymous protagonist, Philip Yung's transgender drama is a poignant and empathetic tale of a lost soul searching for a place of belonging. Named after Cyclone Mei, the unfairly maligned tragic figure in Louis Cha's martial arts novels, Cyclone works as a sex worker in Hong Kong to save up for gender-affirming surgery. But the more her identity is denied by the world and those around her, the more her desires begin to diminish. Raw and engrossing, this is Yung's most intimate directorial effort yet.

Keane Wong Tak Kin Stephen Fung Tak Lun, Chrissie Chau Sau Na, Myolie Wu Hung Yi, Angela Yuen Lai Lam, Alan Yeung Wai Lun, Length : 122 mins. Opening June 12 2026 at the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival Opening July 21 2026 at the 25th New York Asian Film Festival Site : https://www.nyaff.org/nyaff26/films/afterpiece [ 25TH NEW YORK ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL ] A celebrated stage director stakes everything on what is meant to be his swan song, even as his marriage comes apart. He casts a complete unknown as his female lead, only for his ex, now a movie-star diva, to sweep in, seize the role, and bump the newcomer down to understudy. As opening night bears down, he settles on a drastic plan in the name of true art. Keane T.K. Wong makes his feature directorial debut, mentored by Derek Yee, with a gleefully irreverent satire of show-business vanity and dysfunctional love, dragging the Hollywood screwball comedy into present-day Hong Kong. Stephen Fung leads a powerhouse ensemble with Myolie Wu, Chrissie Chau, and Angela Yuen. [ 28TH SHANGHAI INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ] Afterpiece begins with a man at an impasse. Owen, once a celebrated stage director, has spent more than a decade lost in creative paralysis. His former lover, Su Manling, re-enters his life under the guise of old affection, while his wife, Tracy, teeters on the edge of betrayal. Determined to reclaim his dignity, Owen sets out to write, direct, and star in a new work of his own. Yet during the open casting process for the female lead, he becomes deeply drawn to Hannah, an untrained newcomer, and gradually slips into a dangerous space between theatre and reality. This is not a film about the stage -- it is a film about why people drive themselves onto it. As Owen is forced to perform the roles of "director", "husband", "former lover", and "creator" beneath the gaze of four women, and as rehearsal becomes a rehearsal for real life itself, the theater ceases to be a refuge; instead, it becomes a mirror that exposes what lies beneath. What Keane Wong's screenplay seeks to approach is the fissure illuminated by the spotlight: Is a person truly creating a role, or merely escaping from himself? The answer is destined to be revealed, in all its loss of control, on opening night. [ 28TH SHANGHAI INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ] Once-celebrated director Owen decides to write and star in a new play to reclaim his dignity. During auditions, he meets a novice, Hanna. As they enter each other's lives, Owen begins to lose himself between theater and reality. Faced with a demanding boss, a meddling former partner, and a failing marriage, his mind spirals into madness. He fights to keep Hanna as his lead, but opening night leads to an irreversible and chaotic ending. SECRET IN THE BOX Can : Ji Hup Chong Mai AKA : FAT MAI CHONG Lit : LEGAL HIDE AND SEEK d.

Then she secretly signs up for pole dancing, and something dangerous happens: she starts having fun. What looks like a midlife lark turns shockingly physical, closer to martial arts than play, demanding strength and nerve she didn't know she had. As the lessons reawaken a self she had quietly shelved, the accommodating wife-and-mother act becomes harder to keep up. Joey Wu's first feature turns domestic frustration into bright, nimble comedy, handing Catherine Chau a gloriously physical role as a woman who decides that disappearing politely is no longer on the schedule. Veteran Elaine Jin lends major support. [ 28TH SHANGHAI INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ] Yuen is a stereotypical housewife, her days dulled by endless domestic routines. By chance, she stumbles into the dazzling world of pole dancing, where she embarks on a secret journey - one she keeps hidden from her conservative husband, Lam, and her son, Heng.

Meanwhile, Fung-mei, the 70-year-old grandmother with a heart of a young lady, falls prey to a scam while searching for love on dating app. Forced to move into Yuen's home, her arrival stirs up even more chaos to the already strained family.

Ten days after an extraterrestrial pathogen crashes onto Earth, its spores begin to resonate with humanity's "lie brainwaves," driving people into madness and transforming them into grotesque creatures known as Ashes. Amid the ruins, a live streamer named May and a soldier named Yanga are forced to fight side by side inside a collapsing hospital, confronting both monsters and the fading remnants of human nature. It is a story of truth and redemption -- a reflection of how light struggles to survive in the depths of despair. Humanity has never escaped lies, and in the end of the world, deceit becomes a fatal trigger. When truth collides with survival, how will humanity choose? [ HONG KONG MOVIE 6 ] 14 days ago, a comet ripped across the sky, unleashing the disaster now known as the Grayfall. Within hours, parasitic spores called Gray Matters transformed people into savage monsters known as Spikers, collapsing society overnight. Governments sealed off infected cities, buried the truth, and left the outbreak zones to rot. 16-year-old influencer Mai, refusing to believe the official story, breaks into Central Hospital—the outbreak's ground zero -- with her AI cobot, BooBoo. Inside, fear spreads faster than the infection as survivors turn on each other. After rescuing a little girl named Anna, Mai fights to escape a hospital overrun by Spikers. Her path collides with Ren Cade, a ruthless black-ops commander hunting her, while Dr. Theodore secretly pulls the strings from mission control. As survival and conspiracy collide, Mai must protect Anna and uncover the truth before everything is erased forever. PUELLA MAGI MADOKA MAGICA THE MOVIE - WALPURGISNACHT RISING - d.
