Cinematheque Passion to hold first film-themed talk

Joyce Yang

A series of film-themed talks is set to be held at the Cinematheque Passion. The first talk, entitled “Film X Critique X Audience: A Film’s Triangular Relationships,” will be held tomorrow from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Joyce Yang, an active film critic in Hong Kong and a member of Hong Kong Film Critics Society, will discuss topics based on the need for and role of film critique. Other upcoming talks will feature a variety of topics, which include planning and coordinating a film festival, film marketing, film editing, cinematic sound effects, film arts, film costumes and film directing, all in the hope of familiarizing participants with the film industry.
Cinematheque Passion began the new experimental phase of management earlier this month, and has continued to run the a temporary venue booking program, which is open for applications from members of the film industry, filmmakers and film associations. The program commenced last September, and aims to continually utilize the resources of the three-­storey building located at Travessa de Paixão.
