Hong Kong Film Festival 2009
Submitted 02 September 2009
Author: Jane Pickering
The Hong Kong Business Association and the Asia NZ Film Foundation are pleased to present the first ever Hong Kong Film Festival to be held in New Zealand.
The festival showcases some of Hong Kong’s leading directorial and acting talent. Four of the movies were released last year and one in 2007.
The films tell stories of prostitution, tough life in a New Territories town, kidnapping and crime, gang wars and a legend about the defeat of a warlord and rise of a people’s hero. They have all won awards in Hong Kong and at international film festivals.
In Cantonese and Mandarin with English subtitles, the five films selected by filmmaker Alex Lee of Asia NZ Film Foundation and DOCNZ, especially for the Hong Kong New Zealand Business Association, give filmgoers a taste of Hong Kong’s new talent.
The HK Film Festival is being held at the Rialto Newmarket in Auckland, September 16 – 20.
