MISCELLANEOUS * (2026/10/07) The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts (HKAPA) will hold its Honorary Doctorate and Honorary Fellowship Presentation Ceremony on October 16th, bestowing honors upon six distinguished individuals in recognition of their outstanding achievements in the arts and culture sector and their support for the Academy's development. Director Tsui Hark will be awarded an Honorary Doctorate, while Director Stanley Kwan Kam Peng, Cantonese opera artist Mo Yu Tin (Sun Kim Long), Hong Kong Dance Company Artistic Director Yang Yuntao, Hong Kong Arts Festival Development Director Flora Yu Kit Yee, and E-Side Dance Company founder Jacky Yu Yan Wah will be awarded Honorary Fellowships. The Academy commends Tsui Hark as one of the most influential and visionary filmmakers in contemporary Hong Kong cinema, noting his pivotal role in bringing Hong Kong films to the global stage. A director, producer, screenwriter, and creative pioneer, he has profoundly shaped the artistic landscape and international standing of Hong Kong cinema, serving as a key driver of the Hong Kong New Wave movement and a foundational figure of the industry's golden age. His contributions to the HKAPA are evident in his long-standing personal commitment to nurturing the next generation of filmmakers; having received an Honorary Fellowship in 2007, he has consistently supported the School of Film and Television by facilitating special student screenings of works such as THE TAKING OF TIGER MOUNTAIN, THE BATTLE AT LAKE CHANGJIN, and SEPTET: THE STORY PF HONG KONG. By personally sharing his creative journey and cinematic philosophy, bridging classroom theory with professional practice and enriching students' artistic sensibilities, he demonstrates a long-term commitment to cultivating Hong Kong's future film talent, thereby continuously benefiting the Academy community. The Academy describes Kwan Kam Peng as an acclaimed Hong Kong film director, producer, and educator whose outstanding achievements reflect his enduring dedication to the development of Chinese-language cinema and performing arts education; his wealth of experience and cultural influence have made a profound contribution to the HKAPA's School of Film and Television. Kwan has provided his own films for use as case studies, enriching the School's curriculum and enabling students and faculty to analyze narrative structures and technical approaches. He also frequently serves as a guest speaker, sharing his firsthand experience in filmmaking, creative decision-making, and directing with the younger generation. Kwan Kam Peng has participated in the Hong Kong Film Development Council's "Director Succession Scheme" as a mentor to young filmmakers, including Academy alumnus Cheuk Cheung, guiding new directors on how to balance artistic aspirations with market realities and emphasizing the importance of appealing to a broader audience; through this mentorship framework, he makes a practical and long-term contribution to the professional development of Academy graduates. * (2026/10/07) The Best Actor Nick Cheung Ka Fai starred new film GOOD TRIP (NGOR AH DEH SEUNG LUI HUNG) would soon open in Malaysia, and he has taken the time to accept the media interviews there. Playing a middle-aged man with cancer in the film, he appeared with a "Mediterranean" (balding) look. For realism, he took the initiative to shave his head and then put on a wig. The film's funding came from the Hong Kong Film Development Council's "Directors' Succession Scheme" project, Ka Fai said, "This time has old actors, new actors and young actors too. Don't make the "Directors' Succession Scheme" sound so noble, it is already great for everyone to have an opportunity to interact." Regarding working with Yoyo Mung Ka Wai again after 26 years, Ka Fai joked, "She's fatter! But she's pretty cute. Working with her is pretty happy. During the shoot I feel like the unreliable husband in the film, and she is a wife who annoyed me. The feeling is rather comfortable." Has he ever thought about where he would like to go for the final journey in life? He said frankly, "I don't like to travel. I don't like to take a plane, stay in a hotel. Then why else should I go?" When asked about his mental age, he said, "I haven't thought about this question, but acting is very important to me. There is a suitable role for every age. Many people say that they have to look for their hobbies when they retire, and I am pretty scared because I really don't have a hobby. My most favorite is acting. (What kind of role would you like to challenge?) The 70 something loser, avenger, an old killer I would be very eager to try, I can accept playing even older!" * (2026/10/07) The film MASTERMIND (JING JIN) would open in Hong Kong on October 8th. The premiere was held the evening before (5th), with director James Kong Ling Ching, stars Simon Yam Tat Wah, Ci Sha, Amy Lo Wai Man, Eddie Cheung Siu Fai and others in attendance. Louis Koo Tin Lok was absent due to work, but shot a video to apologized and hoped that everyone would support the film. The actors on stage introduced the role one by one, and the mainland actor Ci Sha said in Cantonese, "Hello everyone, I am actor Ci Sha, Happy National Day everyone!" A lot of fans cheered him up. MASTERMIND invites the four major Best Actors Koo Tin Lok, Yam Tat Wah, Gardner Tse Kwan Ho and Cheung Siu Fai to hold down the fort. Director Kong Ling Ching joked that the film has relied on "beauty", but actually impressed people with sincerity and the script. "I am considered a newcomer in this industry, carrying the script and knocking on the boss and each actor's doors. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to make a film with production, the result has exceeded expectations." He pointed out that when inviting Ci Sha, he only casually drank coffee and talked about the performance. He was not familiar with the mainland internet traffic actors, but saw that Ci Sha was very attractive and handsome, his outline had a sense of film, and the two sides got along great. Cheung Siu Fai has often worked with the new director, said that he too has also been a newcomer, and knew that without new there would be no old. "Film is a heritage job. We have had opportunities so we need to give time for the new generation to perform, more people to take over, then we would continue to have opportunities even when we get older." He worked with Ci Sha for the first time and felt that he was motivated and smart. "Although he is not very new, he is very motivated and respectful of his elders and other actors. He is very diligent." He understood that at first Ci Sha was nervous, just like Hong Kong people would be nervous when they would work on a movie in the mainland but could not understand the dialect. Yam Tat Wah and Ci Sha have many scenes together; in order to put Ci Sha at ease, in the break room he would communicate with him more, ask him to make more Hong Kong production films, and even treated pineapple bun with butter to melt him with good food. Everyone got along very happily. Regarding MASTERMIND collecting about 4.5 million yuan in the mainland after 5 days in release, the film on October 5th on the social platform said that "in order to respect the original intention of the creators, maximize the protection of the film content presentation and viewing experience, the company decided to adjust the release plan, officially canceled the round of release and follow up to restart the public release later." However the post was later deleted. Director Kong Ling Ching said that he did not receive official news, but this time he made a Hong Kong-made film, Hong Kong was the main audience. He wanted to make the movie for Hong Kong people, so he insisted on using Cantonese. When he asked Ci Sha to perform he also let him learn Cantonese in coordination. He pointed out that everyone had the intention to make a good Hong Kong production film that would be worthy of support at cinemas; not only this one of his but also every Hong Kong film. The Hong Kong release on October 8th will not be affected, and he gave special thanks to Koo Tin Lok for his encouragement and support when he began the shoot. Yam Tat Wah expressed respect for the decision of the film company to withdraw the mainland release, and believed that everyone wanted what was best for Hong Kong films. Yam Tat Wah was previously caught in the wild by the internet at a restaurant, friendly and playing a drinking game for a photo. The fans only found out that he had already quietly paid when they asked for the bill. He felt hat Hong Kong people have a hospitable way, and hope that tourists will come to Hong Kong to play more. Ci Sha and Amy were not nervous about the Hong Kong release, but at the beginning of the shoot they were nervous about the performance. After the film was made they would leave it for the audience to comment. Ci Sha had to speak Cantonese for his performance, and he smiled and said that he could only face the difficulties head on. However he has also performed the post production dubbing, and Yam Tat Wah has been teaching him authentic Cantonese. He said on the spot, "Handsome, Big Brother, thank you very much!" He also recalled that the pineapple bun with butter that Yam Tat Wah treated him to was among the best food in the world, but because he was afraid of getting fat he only dared to have one in half a month. Amy referred to herself as a representative of Hong Kong, providing "passion" on the set and bringing joy with laughter and noise. "With Ci Sha present, I feel particularly comfortable and happy. We are both the younger generation. Since it is rare for someone to accompany me and learn from the elders, I feel so happy." She pointed out that when she worked with her elders Koo Tin Lok, Yam Tat Wah, and Tse Kwan Ho, she was afraid to speak. In addition she had to play a villain and maintain a cool look, so she try to overcome the tension as much as possible to perform. Amy recently spent her 33rd birthday, and Ci Sha praised her for looking more like 18. She smiled and said that before the premiere everyone lied to her about an interview, so she rushed out of the bathroom. The lights in the room have been turned off, as everyone brought out the cake and sang the birthday song to surprise her. Her birthday wish was for everyone to be healthy, happy, MASTERMIND to be a box office hit, the audience to continue to support Hong Kong movies. Referring to the withdrawal of the mainland release, Ci Sha said that the actor has the responsibility and work of the actor. After the shoot was successfully completed, regardless of the release was in the mainland or Hong Kong later, the actor could not do anything about that. * (2026/10/07) The 31st Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) opened yesterday in Busan, South Korea, the event is star studded as filmmakers from all over Asia gathered together. Hong Kong veteran actor Michelle Yeoh (Yeung Chi King) and veteran director Ann Hui On Wa were awarded the "Asian Filmmaker Award" and "Camellia Award" respectively to become the focus of attention. The Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism of Hong Kong Rosanna Law Shul Pui expressed his sincere congratulations. The 64-year-old Oscar winning Best Actress Yeung Chi King set foot on the stage of the Busan Film Festival again after 15 years to receive the "Asian Filmmaker Award", and the audience applauded enthusiastically. She could not hide her excitement and said, "I feel it's deeply meaningful to be able to come to Busan again after so many years." She shared, "Looking back at my film career, one thing is very clear: no one can do it all alone. Behind every movie, there are people who believe in you, challenge you, and always wait for you." She thanked all the filmmakers she has worked with, and specifically paid tribute to directors Hui On Wa and Zhang Yimou. As for the future, she said that she would look forward to meeting new works and sharing stories. "No matter what happens in the future, I want to continue to learn, stay curious, and be the person people who believe in me can be proud of." The Asian Filmmaker Award recognizes filmmakers who have made outstanding contributions to the advancement of Asian film and culture; the Camellia Awards highlight filmmakers who have made significant contributions to the advancement of women in the Asian film industry. Yeung Chi King and Hui On Wa have been working in the film industry for decades, their works have spread internationally, and they could be described as deserving of the awards. Law Shuk Pui said that the two have had a profound and lasting impact on Hong Kong and the international film industry, and thanked them for their long-term outstanding contribution to Hong Kong cinema and for helping to promote Hong Kong films on the international stage. On the other hand, the Cultural and Creative Industry Development Agency led an industry delegation to attend the film festival, including the winning work of the Film Development Fund and 7th First Feature Film Initiative's Higher Education Institution Group, DEAD END (BEI SAT DIK NA TIN)'s director Isabella Lam Lok Hin and actor Lokman Yeung. The film has been selected for the film festival's "Vision Asia" competition, and will hold the world premiere on October 10th, Busan time. The CCIDA also arranged a reception for "Hong Kong Night" on October 9th to promote exchanges between Hong Kong and the international film industry. * (2026/10/06) Director Philip Yung Tsz Kwong's new film CYCLONE (CHIU FUNG) explores transgender issues. Starring mainland actress Liu Yuqiao alongside Edwynn Li Yuxuan and Jennifer Suen Wo Yi, the film was selected for the big screen competition at the Rotterdam International Film Festival and the feature film competition at the Bangkok Film Festival. Over the past few days Yung Tsz Kwong has led actors in Hong Kong to thank the audience and has invited friends from the industry to enjoy the show. Best Actor Tony Leung Chiu Wai made a special video to share his feelings, revealing that he was deeply moved after watching the film as he thought about it from the cinema all the way home and even went sleepless all night. He also thanked Yung Tsz Kwong and praised the crew and actors, saying that the film made him reflect on life, the meaning of existence, destiny, and freedom. He called on the audience to attend and support this heartfelt and unique film. CYCLONE will be released on October 2nd. It would be the first Yung Tsz Kwong directed and written film to explore transgender issues, and starring Liu Yuqiao, Li Yuxuan, and Suen Wo Yi. The story follows the protagonist Chaofeng (Liu Yuqiao)'s trek from the mainland to Hong Kong. In order to become her true self, she works hard to earn money for gender affirmation surgery. While facing the entanglement of her drug addict boyfriend, she meets her confidante Xiaomei and is taken care of. At the moment of her final transformation, she suddenly hesitates whether this is the freedom she longs for. Yung Tsz Kwong, along with actors and production teams, thanked the audience at several screenings over the past few days and invited many industry friends to enjoy the show. They included Leung Chiu Wai, MIRROR members Edan Lui Cheuk On and Tiger Yau Ngo Yin, Fish Liew Chi Yu, Kearen Pang Sau Wai, and Chris Lai Lok Yi. Leung Chiu Wai was recently moved after watching the film to share his feelings about it, thanked Yung Tsz Kwong and praised the crew and actors' dedication. The actors' performances were very natural, with no trace of acting. This uniquely subjected film had a direct impact on him, making him feel a bit miserable. On the way home after the show, he kept reflecting, "Why do I feel so miserable? I would think about life, the meaning of existence, destiny, and freedom." Leung Chiu Wai explained that this heaviness stemmed from his recent reading of existentialist philosophical books, which led to his association. "In other words it is about how people live in a meaningless and absurd world, and how should we survive?" He revealed that while watching the film, Camus's work "The Stranger" came to mind. He recalled the real-life situation of transgender people, believing that they 'are like strangers, why is it so hard for others to understand their psychological state in the real world?' Leung Chiu Wai said that even after returning home, these thoughts still kept him awake. He cited the core existential proposition that "existence precedes essence," pointing out that humans possess absolute freedom to create meaning and live. Even in prison or war, there is still a certain degree of intellectual freedom. The experiences of Jews during World War II also lingered in his mind, prompting him to reflect on the silence of the world and the Creator and to associate with Camus's absurdism or existentialism. He emphasized that the above were just personal feelings. "I believe different viewers will have different opinions after watching. This is just my personal feeling. It's rare that even when the film market is struggling, there can still be such a thoughtful and unique subject matter like this. I hope everyone will support it. Thank you." Lui Cheuk On said his impression after watching CYCLONE was very shocking. He praised Yung Tsz Kwong's camera work and said that every actor's performance was worth the ticket price, sometimes even two or three times more. Yau Ngo Yin said that Hong Kong needs such powerful and gentle films, and thanked Yung Tsz Kwong for leading everyone to explore some issues faced by the minority. Liew Chi Yu said that CYCLONE is a film that goes beyond everyone's imagination and reveals extraordinary relationships. Away from the public for a long time, Ronald Cheng Chung Kei posted a photo with his artist Li Yuxuan on social media, recommending his first starring role in CYCLONE, praising his talent, saying he has prepared for the performance for a long time and hoping that the audience would show their support. CYCLONE is one of the "B2B A Love Supreme" project jointly produced by the Hong Kong International Film Festival Association and China's Heaven Pictures, receiving a funding of 1 million HKD. Earlier Yung Tsz Kwong revealed that he also financed several hundred thousand HKD to complete the filming. "When I received the invitation for the Hong Kong International Film Festival's 'B2B' program, I didn't immediately think of making a transgender-themed film. When I saw 'THE TWO LIVE OF LI ERMAO' (directed by Jia Yuchuan in 2019), a documentary about the displaced lives of transgender people in mainland China. I was deeply moved. So we traveled everywhere, hoping to portray this bold and passionate character as a city heroine like Mei Chaofeng in Jin Yong's novels -- light as dust, male and female in one, living with dignity and autonomy amid the misty and cold mountains and waters, maintaining balance and self-awareness amid layers of self-questioning." * (2026/10/06) The famous martial art actor Mark Houghton (Ho Mak) was the late Kung Fu master Lau Kar Leung's apprentice. Active in the 1980s Hong Kong action film, he died of a heart attack in the early morning yesterday at age 64. His social network page confirmed the death. His family said that due to the suddenness of the bad news, efforts were being made to get out of the grief and begin to deal with the aftermath. The funeral arrangements will be announced later. Ho Mak loved Chinese martial arts, in the 1980s he came alone from the United Kingdom to Hong Kong to pursue the dream. He revealed in early year interviews that when he first came to Hong Kong, Lau Kar Leung was preparing for a new film. He excitedly expressed his admiration for him and performed on the spot, received praises from Lau Kar Leung who invited him to participate in ACES GO PLACES 5 (JUI GAI PAK DONG 5). When they made DRUNKEN MASTER II (JUI KUEN), Ho Mak officially became his disciple and the "fifth generation disciple of Wong Fei Hung." In addition to being proficient in Hung Fist, Ho Mak was also able to speak fluent Cantonese. In addition to working as a behind-the-scenes martial art stunt man in the golden age of Hong Kong production films, he also because of solid skills often guest starred in foreign villain roles. During Hollywood superstars Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger's visit to Hong Kong, Ho Mak was specifically appointed as their personal bodyguard. Ho Mak's family posted an obituary on social media, "Mark Houghton was born in England and had a heart for China. His passion for Chinese martial arts led him to go to Hong Kong alone in the 1980s, forming an inseparable bond with the city. Through relentless effort, he mastered Hung Fist, mastered fluent Cantonese, and earned the trust of his mentor, director Lau Kar Leung to become the highly acclaimed fifth-generation successor of Wong Fei Hung. As he taught Hung Fist he spread the art worldwide and the Lau Clan Troupe flourished." His mentor's former wife, Mary Jean Reimer (Yung Ching Jing), left a message of condolence. "Kar Leung's most devoted disciple Mark Houghton, Ho Mak, passed away from heart disease in the early hours of yesterday without warning. Deep condolences, eternal remembrance." Ho Mak's daughter, Charlene Houghton (Ho Chi Yan), has followed in her father's footsteps and is dubbed the "strongest action actress" as she breaks into the film industry. Yesterday she said in an interview that her father's death was so sudden. She has never noticed any health issues. In the early hours of yesterday he suddenly felt unwell and passed away en route after being taken to the hospital by ambulance around 2 p.m. Ho Chi Yin was notified and rushed to the hospital to say goodbye to her father. The funeral arrangements need to be discussed with the family and the brothers, as the incident was so sudden that they would needed time to process. She said that her father went to the mainland early to discuss work, and when he returned to Hong Kong, he was very energetic and showed no abnormalities. He has never mentioned having heart issues before. Did Ho Mak have any last wishes or things he has not done? Ho Chi Yan said that before 'grandfather' Lau Kar Leung passed away, he left a script for Papa. Over the years her father has been making low- budget films, gaining experience in hopes of turning his mentor's final script into a movie and bringing it to the big screen. "Papa was preparing for an action film and went to Zhongshan to meet investors. I would play one of the roles in the film. Now that Father has passed away, a group of brothers want to work together to complete the film; but for now we have to handle the final arrangements first." * (2026/10/05) MIRROR's vice captain Anson Kong Ip Sang (AK) and group mate Alton Wong Chi Tak promoted their concert last week and a video of their media interview went viral online. Some online criticized the two for their poor attitude in answering questions, while other fans strongly supported their idols' genuine personalities and sparked a heated argument between the two sides. MIRROR's new group variety show 'MIRROR ACE' would premiere on the 12th of this month. Yesterday AK attended a promotional event, admitted that his performance during the interview was inappropriate, made viewers uncomfortable and affected the team. He reflected on this for several days and apologized to the media and the public yesterday. He explained that even if life pressures have been overwhelming, they should not affect others. He will work hard to improve in the future and thanked his group mates for their forgiveness. Last Monday (September 28), MIRROR attended a press conference for their year-end concert. When asked about posting a photo of his middle finger on social media during the Mid-Autumn Festival and then deleting it, AK replied that the account belonged to him, that he could do whatever he liked and told everyone not to worry; Alton spoke about the new show having a third host, then told reporters, "You know so much, just interview yourself!" After nearly a week since the incident, yesterday AK along with nine MIRROR group mates and Hong Kong women's snooker representative Ng On-yee, attended the promotional event for their new group variety show "MIRROR ACE," and shared behind-the-scenes moments from the shoot with over 600 fans in attendance to show their support. Lokman and Alton were absent due to personal matters. After the event, AK apologized to reporters one by one and apologized in front of the camera. AK admitted that his poor performance in the last interview made the audience uncomfortable. "I want to say sorry to everyone. I've reflected for a few days and feel I need to do better in the future." He also apologized to his teammates, "Sorry! For affecting the group." His group mates voiced their support, "No, it's fine." AK accepted online criticism and explained, "I've been under pressure lately and felt overwhelmed; but regardless, my performance that day was indeed inappropriate. I want to apologize for this behavior and hope to do better, so that those around me, those who have helped me, and those who love me don't feel too much pressure." When group mates asked for a make up meal, he said no problem. He was rumored to have been scolded by the company. AK admitted directly, "Definitely! After all I was the one who was mischievous; you live, you learn!" He admitted that his facial expression management has been weaker, and Stanley Yau Sze Chun chimed in. "He looks so dark, so it's easy to get misunderstood." AK was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Golden Horse Awards for the first time for the film WE'RE NOTHING AT ALL (NGOR MOON BUT SI SUP MOR), and received cheers and congratulations from his group mates and fans at the event. He replied, "Thank you! I would have never imagined it. I was working that day when the manager called and cried, so I couldn't hear what he was saying. In short I am truly grateful, thank you to the judges for your recognition, and also to the director and the team." He believed that his biggest competitor would be Tin Kai Man. "Knowing that Big Brother Tin has already won an award at the Taipei Film Festival, I am already very grateful to be among the final five. I would just enjoy this grand event and that's enough." In contrast Stanley was not nominated for "THE AGE OF GOODBYES," and was praised by Executive Committee Executive Director Wen Tien- Hsiang as a "hidden gem." Stanley thanked him for the advice but admitted that he was disappointed, "I've never tried it before; this time I was just half a step away." Recently he attended the Tokyo premiere of the new drama 'kiDnap GAME' and was dubbed the 'International Dragon' by his group mates. He modestly admitted that he did not deserve it, saying it was just to broaden his horizons. He took the opportunity to interact and chat with fellow cast members Lee Joon- gi and Kentaro Sakaguchi, praising them as 'so nice.' Reportedly he will hold his wedding in Southeast Asia at the end of this month, and all MIRROR members will attend. He refused to disclose the wedding date to avoid affecting the number of guests present. The Edan Lui Cheuk On starred Hong Kong version of "LONG VACATION" has not yet finished filming, but it would air earlier than his group mate Anson Lo Hon Ting's already finished "WHAT'S WRONG WITH SECRETARY KIM." He explained that because the contract was signed to air in December this year and he is currently working hard to meet expectations. Anson Lo also felt bad for Edan, revealing that in the new drama he had many kiss scenes with Ivy So Nga Lam and even passionate ones. Regarding his co-star Arnold Kwok Tsz Ho recently publicized photos of the finale wedding scene, he did not mind. He joked that if people thought it mattered, they should wait for Kwok Tsz Ho to explain in person. Speaking about the new drama featuring cameos from Jackie Lui Chung Yin, Eileen Tung Oi Ling, and Wilson Lam Chun Yin, "I'm very happy that this time I learned a lot from the seniors both in life and acting." He felt honored that Ng On Yee selected him as the group's variety show "Snooker Ace," modestly saying that he was not skilled in the sport but was simply lucky to win. In addition, his group mates "cheated". In reality, he was "lucky ACE." Meanwhile Ian was chosen as the "strategy ACE" while Keung To as the "Competitive ACE", as Stanley joked that "those with money love money even more". Keung To revealed that after winning HK$ 1000 cash prize at the group variety show, he chased the staff for 3 days to collect. Keung To has recently been actively exercising, saying that it was not for concerts but for his health. He wanted to play basketball less to avoid injuries that would affect the team. When asked if he would work out with group mate Jer Lau Ying Ting, he laughed and said, "He has been working out, show off a little!" The group selected Jer as the "never means what he says Ace". Edan revealed that he used losing weight and being tired as excuses to decline hot pot, but was persuaded to go. He "ordered everything" after he arrived and became the biggest eater of the place. He was even ridiculed for resembling the always hungry "Vivienne" from the drama COME ON, COUSIN. Jer was immediately asked to promote the group variety show by flirting. He then covered his face out of embarrassment many time. As for being called "Vivienne", he joked that he would helplessly accept that. Jer emphasized that because his group mates were big eaters, he thoughtfully helped them order food on the show. He called himself the ordering ambassador. * (2026/10/04) The Pang Brothers, Oxide Pang Chun and Danny Pang Fat, directed together again after 12 years the film THE MAGE (SUP FONG FAT SI). It also marked producer and executive producer Conroy Chan Chi Chung's first return to work after his illness and will be released in Hong Kong on October 8th. Also a producer and actress in the film, Josie Ho Chiu Yi made a major sacrifice. A severe germophobe, she not only had to sleep in the garbage dump but also to be accompanied by garbage day and night. At the same time, she also had to fight with the extraordinary German Cheung Man Kit. Once worried about getting hurt before the shoot, she fortunately was able to successfully complete all the shoot after ample rehearsal and practice as well as mutual trust. Ho Chiu Yi played the role of the ghost seeing scavenger in THE MAGE. Normally she communicated with the dead by picking up relics and dealt with the aftermath for the dead. She spent most of her time in the film in "dirty make up" and shot in a garbage dump. Did she consider giving up on playing a beautiful woman a sacrifice for the art? She joked, "The greatest sacrifice isn't to play a 'beautiful woman', but being a severe germophobe. Usually when I come home after going out, I wouldn't touch the sofa before bathing and wouldn't touch the dog. This time I had to sleep among two tons of real garbage, and I had a skin reaction and even rashes. However, to truly believe in this role, I must embrace the garbage and believe that I am a trash picker. Nam Pui Ching must first be regarded by the world as a "garbage lady" before people would have the opportunity to see that she was actually saving people. This film needed me not as a beautiful woman, but a person who was not seen at all and still chose to love. I have to be exactly like this to be able to live up to he role." Ho Chiu Yi had a lot of space to play in the film, showing many elements like warmth, action, thriller, and even multi-lingual performance. Which was the most difficult aspect? She said that the most difficult thing was not the action. "The most difficult thing is being in the dirtiest and least trusted place alone and still be gentle and firm. In one scene I monologue to a plastic bag in the garbage dump, 'What am I? I have no father, no mother, no friend.' With one take straight to the end, I speak until I shed tears. That moment must be accompanied by a sense of being on the edge, fear and love, which is the real difficulty." She believed that language and action were only tools. The difficulty was to let the audience believed that she was here to save people and not to kill people despite being in the filth. As for the scene of multiple fight and action in the film, was she afraid to fight with German with his real kung fu? She admitted that she was indeed afraid. Because the shoot took place on a real garbage station, broken glass, nails were scattered in tons of garbage; coupled with the created rain effect, the slightest mishap might lead to injury. In one of the rain scenes, her costume tripped her up several times. Finally it had to be cut on the spot before she was able to continue the shoot. "I am afraid of broken glass, but the role shouldn't be afraid; so in some positions I must be extra careful. I would leave parts that are too dangerous for the double to handle. German is proficient in real kung fu, and everyone relies on trust and rehearsal instead of brute force." She said that she has done full rehearsals before the performance; but due to how bad the live environment was, the real test was how to stand firm in the moment, how to protect the co-star, and at the same time achieve the intensity the directors required. Promoted by Ho Chiu Yi and transformed from a doctor to an actor, Iman Taheri had a little filmmaking experience. Did he feel that participating in the film for the first time was interesting? Ho Chiu Yi said that Iman was originally a doctor, this was his first time making a movie. Yet he was humble, hard working, and like a sponge. "Chi Chung (husband Chan Chi Chung) and I are very grateful to him. During the period of Chi Chung's serious illness, he followed up all the way until he recovered." During the film shoot, she also reminded Iman how to get into the character, how to stand in front of the camera, and how to interact with co-stars. Yet the ones who taught him the most were still the Pang Brothers, though the prerequisite was that he was willing to fall and learn himself. "I think this is not just fun, but also a rare experience. A person who is accustomed to looking at life and death from a scientific point of view has to play a police officer who did not believe in ghosts at first. This contrast instead makes the character even more realistic." Has Iman always been eager to shoot an action scene? Ho Chiu Yi said, "What I see is that he doesn't want to 'show off his skills', but to play this role well. Action is a challenge for newcomers, but more difficult is the eyes and the attitude. If he has learned something, I also hope that he learns how to trust his opponent, how to trust the live set, and not just how to fight beautifully." Working as a film producer with her husband, has the couple set off any "spark"? Ho Chiu Yi admitted that they would have discussions with each other and would also quarrel, but they were all for the film itself and not for the sake of winning the fight. "Chi Chung serves as a producer for the first time after recovering from disease, and takes this story very seriously. He hopes that it would be entertainment and positive message would coexist. 'Deeds of immense merit and virtue are immeasurable', 'man can conquer nature', unconditional love are all messages that we want the audience to take away." She also said that the advantage of working together as husband and wife was that they were honest enough that they did not need to be polite; the difficulty was that they continued to talk about the same scene after work. The so-called sparks mostly came from the discussion of whether a scene was real enough and whether the subject was clear enough. "Yet after the shoot, we are always a family. I'm already very grateful to be able to bring THE MAGE from Korea, Thailand to this place at this time." * (2026/10/02)The 63rd Golden Horse Awards ceremony will be held on November 22nd at the Taipei Music Center. The list of nominees was announced yesterday, featuring many Hong Kong actors and filmmakers. The Best Actress category includes the 61st Golden Horse Best Actress winner Chung Suet Ying, who was nominated for WE ARE BORN GOOD (SIN NAM SHUN NUI), while DOUBLE HAPPINESS' Jennifer Yu Heung Ying and AFTERPIECE's Angela Yuen Lai Lam were also nominated for Best Actress. WE ARE BORN GOOD's Yeung Wai Lun (Ah Lun) was nominated for Best Actor for the first time and became the sole representative of Hong Kong. The Best Supporting Actor nominees include WE'RE NOTHING AT ALL (NGOR MOON BUT SI SUP MOR)'s MIRROR member Anson Kong Ip Sang and DOUBLE HAPPINESS' Tin Kai Man. Plagued by negative reviews recently, Kong Ip Sang received his first Golden Horse Best Supporting Actor nomination and was moved to tears. He said, "I deeply understand that whether in life or acting, I still have many areas where improvement and change are needed. Thank you, I am grateful, thank you!" This year's Golden Horse Awards film with the most nominations was the Ethan Juan starred Japan and Taiwan co-produced ARRESTED MEMORY, with a total of 11 nominations. Shu Qi's directorial debut GIRL received 10 nominations, and she would even compete for Best New Director with this film; DOUBLE HAPPINESS and WE ARE BORN GOOD each received 9 nominations. Among the Best Actress nominees, three were Hong Kong representatives: Yu Heung Ying, Chung Suet Ying, and Yuen Lai Lam. The other two were Malaysian actress Yeo Yann Yann from WE ARE ALL STRANGERS and mainland actress Liang Cuishan from BIG LITTLE THINGS. No Taiwanese actresses were nominated. Chung Suet Ying was crowned Best Actress at the 61st Golden Horse Awards for THE WAY WE TALK (HONG NGOR GUM TIN JUM MOR SUET), and this time is nominated again for WE ARE BORN GOOD. The film team responded, "The WE ARE BORN GOOD team is very happy to be nominated for the Golden Horse Awards. Through the film festival we can bring WE ARE BORN GOOD to different parts of the world, allowing audiences to see Hong Kong cinema." Yu Heung Ying was nominated for Best Actress at the Golden Horse Awards a few years ago for IN BROAD DAYLIGHT (BAK YUN JI HA). This time she is again competing for Best Actress with DOUBLEH HAPPINESS. She said, "I am very grateful to the Golden Horse judges for giving me this recognition. I was just out on the street with my child. I knew it was a live broadcast, so I was feeling a bit nervous. It wasn't until I received congratulations from director (Joseph) Hsu Cheng-chieh that I realized I was nominated. Later I kept hearing about the nominations for the DOUBLE HAPPINESS team, I was so excited and happy. Daddy Mr. Tin (Tin Kai Man) and I congratulated each other, and now we can return to Taiwan again." Besides the DOUBLE HAPPINESS team, many other outstanding Hong Kong filmmakers were nominated, including my mentor (Kearen) Pang Sau Wai. I am very happy for her, and we immediately had a video call embrace." Yuen Lai Lam was nominated for Best Actress at the Golden Horse Awards in 2022 for THE NARROW ROAD (MIN LO MEI CHUN). This time she is again competing for Best Actress for AFTERPIECE (DAI SEI MOK). "I'm super happy and honored to be nominated for the Golden Horse Awards again. I hope AFTERPIECE will be a big hit, because I really want to experience what a box office hit feels like." Best Actor is seen as the 'group of death' with fierce competition. Yeung Wai Lun is nominated for the first time at the Golden Horse Awards for the film WE ARE BORN GOOD. His rivals include Golden Horse Best Supporting Actor, Liu Kuan-Ting from DOUBLE HAPPINESS, Golden Horse Best Actor Ethan Juan from ARRESTED MEMORY, Golden Horse director Leon Dai from KUNG FU, and Jack Tan from DEAD TIDE. The Herman Yau Lai To directed WE'RE NOTHING AT ALL was nominated for Best Director and Best Supporting Actor. Yau Lai To said, "Thank you to the Golden Horse judges. WE'RE NOTHING AT ALL will be released in Taiwan on October 2nd. I hope Taiwanese audiences will support and enjoy WE'RE NOTHING AT ALL." Nominated for Best Supporting Actor, Kong Ip Shang was recently embroiled in a scandal over his poor attitude during interviews. Yesterday his publicity staff responded to his feelings about being nominated, saying he could not believe the good news and said with a tearful voice that he never imagined he would get a nomination. He thanked the organizers for their recognition and the entire team of WE'RE NOTHING AT ALL. "I deeply understand that whether in life or acting, I still have many areas where improvement and change are needed. Thank you, I am grateful, thank you!" In mid-year, Tin Kai Man won his first Best Supporting Actor award in his 47-year career at the Taipei Film Festival for DOUBLE HAPPINESS. As a Golden Horse nominee, he said, "I am overjoyed and hope the team will achieve even greater success." Judy Ongg was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for SUNSHINE WOMEN'S CHOIR, alongside Golden Horse Best Actress Audrey Lin from GIRL and Pang Sau Wai from WE ARE BORN GOOD. Judy Ongg said, "Being nominated again for the Golden Horse Awards after 54 years is an incredibly precious honor for me.' Wen Tien-Hsiang, the Executive Director of the Golden Horse Executive Committee, was asked yesterday that none of the Best Actress nominees were Taiwanese actors. He joked, "It means that the Golden Horse is fair and just." Wen Tien-Hsiang mentioned that Vivian Sung in THE AGE OF GOODBYES, 9m88 in GIRL, and Cecilia Choi Sze Wan in MUDBORN all received attention from the judges. As for the five Best Actor nominees, Ethan Juan was described by the judges as having a strong sense of rhythm and a well-positioned performance; Yeung Wai Lun as a cha chaan teng owner who gets into a war with the female lead Chung Suet Ying over a takeout incident combined humor with survival in hard times. Stephen Fung Tak Lun from AFTERPIECE (DAI SEI MOK) and Chunfeng from DEAD END were the overlooked male leads. [ In Production Now/Soon ] Can : Yu Yeh Ji Toh d.

Opening September 14 2026 at the 51st Toronto International Film Festival Trailer : https://youtu.be/askwYkTdXek Site : https://www.tiff.net/films/the-age-of-goodbyes [ THE 51ST TORONTO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ] Vivian Sung stars as the ravishing Du Li An in a breathtaking cinematic adaptation of Li Zi Shu's The Age of Goodbyes, a story about memory, loss, love, doppelgängers, and hidden truths. Based on the award-winning novel by Li Zi Shu, Edmund Yeo's The Age of Goodbyes is a multifaceted story about how memories are inherited through generations. Jumping between different timelines, the film follows Kai, a boy who finds a book called The Age of Goodbyes. The novel begins on page 513, a poignant reference to May 13, 1969, one of the darkest and most defining days in Malaysian history. As Kai reads, he enters the world of Du Li An. In Ipoh in 1969, Du Li An falls in love with Lin Sang. He confides in her about a dark curse that plagues his family, then, shortly after, he disappears without a trace. Years pass, and Du Li An finally moves on, until one day Mong Sang (Stanley Yau) appears before her — and he is the spitting image of her unforgettable love. The more Kai turns the pages, the more he uncovers the ties between himself and those in the book. Once considered unfilmable, the story's non-linear timeline could make it challenging to follow. But this is a unique and visually stunning cinematic experience that will reward multiple viewings. Malaysian filmmaker Edmund Yeo infuses his adaptation with his personal fascination with the way experiences turn into narratives. As stories are passed down through generations, they take on lives of their own, intertwining history and myth. And, similarly, as Du Li An's story gets passed along through screenings of The Age of Goodbyes, so shall it take on a life of its own. - JUNE KIM Content advisory: self-harm, mature themes, sexual content, violence THE MAGE Can : SUP FONG FAT SI Lit : SCAVENGER PRIEST d.

As Hua, a Taiwanese drifter washed up in Macau, he is too soft- hearted to squeeze anyone, his wife gone and his life coming apart. Then Jojo turns up with a million in casino chips and one impossible plan: clear the enormous debt left by her vanished father. The kid needs an adult to gamble for her, and against all better judgment, Hua is it. A one-man disaster and a child with nerve, they work the floors and back rooms and run up against every species of Macau greed, with HK and Taiwan screen legend Elaine Jin anchoring the wreckage. Shot from inside the casino city by a Macau director, it finds the kindness people scrape together once the chips are gone. This film is presented in part with support from the Taipei Cultural Center of TECO in New York. [ 2026 TAIPEI FILM FESTIVAL ] Young JoJo unexpectedly comes into casino chips and seeks to repay her runaway father's debt, asking down-on-his-luck collector Hua to gamble for her. In Macau's chaotic casinos, they form an unlikely alliance. When the final bet arrives, fate strips them of everything, revealing life's true gift. [ 28th UDINE FAR EAST FILM FESTIVAL ] Foreign projects made in Macau tend to be keen on highlighting the glitz and glamour of the city’s casino scene. However, Chao Koi-wang and Hu Chin-ye's I Blew Out the Candles Before Making a Wish (the title comes from the song Half-Adult by defunct Hong Kong pop duo Shine) manages to tell a story about gambling by barely stepping into the city's casinos. This low-key drama is an ode to the people who bet low and lose everything. Call it the anti-Ballad of a Small Player. Loosely inspired by news headlines, Candles follows Jojo (an excellent Mui Cheng-in), a young girl whose father has fled to avoid gambling debts. When she mysteriously picks up several "dead chips", or casino chips that have been taken out of circulation and cannot be exchanged for cash, she believes that she can win enough money to bring her father home. She first asks her seemingly honest teacher (Stanley Yau, of Hong Kong boy band Mirror) to bet the chips and give her the winnings, but he secretly sells the chips to a broker and tells Jojo that he lost everything. It is hinted that he plans to use the money to buy a flat – a pipe dream for any modern urbanite. Cue Hua (Kai Ko), a Taiwanese man who is burdened with a flat he can't afford after his wife (Dada Chen) left him. To afford mortgage payments, Hua works as a debt collector for a local loan shark, but he is far too nice to be competent at his job. While failing miserably at intimidating Jojo and her grandmother Chon (Elaine Jin) to pay up, a friendship of sorts is formed between Hua and Jojo, who still has dead chips in her possession. Even though gambling takes up a significant part of the story, Candles is intentionally almost entirely set in the sleepy residential neighbourhoods of Macau to show off the real sights of the city (the opening shot, an extended zoom-out that reveals the residential buildings surrounding the famous Ruins of Saint Paul's, should give you a clue). Instead of the high rollers, Chao and Hu focus on the fortunes of the small-timers, from a Taiwanese casino dealer (Tuo Tsung-hua) with a sick son to the migrant workers who rent the empty rooms in Hua’s flat. Even though not every character in the film is honest, the script by Chao and Chen Yi-ru also refuses to paint anyone as a villain (even the supposedly intimidating loan shark has a decent side to him). These characters lend the film an authentic charm that only a locally born and raised filmmaker like Chao can pull off. Candles unfolds in such a leisurely pace that it doesn't even seem too bothered whether its characters win or lose. In fact, the entire film can probably be summed up with a single line of dialogue near the end: "Lose today, win tomorrow." While the personal stakes are high for the characters, they all eventually learn that fortunes in Macau can change in the blink of an eye. A casino table is still no place for the fainthearted, but Candles offers solace by saying that no one loses forever. For those who enjoy their stories of small- time criminals and underachievers to be quiet and grounded, this may be the feel-good film of the year. NIGHT FLOWER d.

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. The documentary is a wistful look at the unstoppable machine of urban development and an old-school business has tried to withstand the flow of time. CHA GUO d. Daphn Mandel, Guy Bertrand Rating : I Length : 37 mins. 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. Cha guo is a homemade Chinese tea cake traditionally shared at family gatherings and celebrations. The Directors, Daphn Mandel and Guy Bertrand, set out not only to document this village life and heritage but also to capture its distinctly Hong Kong spirit.

No stranger to true crime genre with films like Port of Call and Papa, Philip Yung returns as the producer of screenwriter Frankie Tam Kwong- yuen's compelling and ambitious solo directorial debut. Told from the perspectives of the convicted murderer, who spends decades proclaiming his innocence, and a police detective who loses his career for challenging his fellow officers' dubious investigation methods, Tam's pseudo-fictional take on the murder is a captivating exploration of man's darkest tendencies and the elusive nature of truth in a world driven by self-interest and greed.

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.

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.

He fights to keep Hanna as his lead, but opening night leads to an irreversible and chaotic ending. THE MAGE Can : SUP FONG FAT SI Lit : SCAVENGER PRIEST d.

InDPanda especially arranges this 45th anniversary screening on the same day this year, with the brand new digital restored version Though his directorial career was short-lived, Dennis Yu created some of the most memorable and controversial cult films of the 1980s. Dubbed among the scariest films ever made in Hong Kong, Yu’s nihilistic horror hit follows a rookie security guard who takes desperate measures to defend his family when a malevolent force murders his hapless co-workers in increasingly morbid fashion. Educated abroad like many of his fellow Hong Kong New Wave filmmakers, Yu blends Western horror cinematic techniques such as expressionistic visuals and elaborate special effects with local superstitions and folklores, creating a pioneering work that influenced the look of the horror genre for the decades that followed. However, the film isn't only about smoke and mirrors; its chilling conclusion remains one of the bleakest endings in Hong Kong cinema. (Summer International Film Festival) GODZILLA MINUS ZERO d.

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.

He fights to keep Hanna as his lead, but opening night leads to an irreversible and chaotic ending. TIME STILL TURNS THE PAGES d.

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.
