Humanitarian film director to conduct talk

The Cinematheque Passion will host a talk titled, “Documentary Production — Self-Exploration and Community Records,” conducted by Hong Kong director Tsang Tsui Shan, to be held on July 30, from 3 p.m to 5 p.m.
Tsang’s films and videos embrace humanitarian concerns and vary in style. In the talk, she will share how it is possible to explore the community from one’s own perspective and make relevant records. She will also give an account of her video series against the background of Ho Chung Village in Hong Kong.
In 2012, Tsang won Best New Director at the Hong Kong Film Awards. Her first feature film, “Lovers on the Road,” was awarded the “Best Feature Film” at the South Taiwan Film Festival.
“Big Blue Lake,” her second feature film, was critically acclaimed and secured the Asian New Talent Jury Prix at the 15th Shanghai International Film Festival and Recommended Movie at the 2011 Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards.
Tsang completed the documentary “Flowing Stories” and the romance film “Scent,” a collaboration of Chinese and Korean artists in 2014, presented in cinemas in mainland China and abroad.
In recent years she has been committed to producing films about environmental protection and vulnerable groups, and this year she was awarded the “Humanitarian Award” by Film Aid Asia.
Online applications to attend the talk can now be submitted and admission is free.
