For the final screening of our twentieth-anniversary festival, we look to the future by inviting young filmmaker Heiward Mak to present her behind-the-scenes showbiz drama Diva. Set in the Hong Kong pop music world, it stars real-life pop star Joey Yung as a singer who loses her voice in the midst of a concert. While she lays low on the mainland, striking up a relationship with a blind masseur, her fast-talking manager (Chapman To) casts his eye on a talented young singer to take her place. (Dir.: Heiward Mak, Hong Kong/China, 2012, 101 min., DCP, Cantonese and Mandarin with Chinese and English subtitles)
