This year's edition of Hong Kong Cinema features an exciting mix of contemporary tales and rising pop stars with traditional yarns and household names. The program runs the genre gamut with enough action, romance, drama and thrills to satisfy all viewers. Included is one of the most celebrated films of the year, Ann Hui's The Golden Era, which closed the Venice Film Festival and is Hong Kong's foreign submission to the Academy Awards; a 20th anniversary screening of Wong Kar-wai's evergreen Chungking Express; new vehicles for Chow Yun-fat and Chapman To; the latest from directors Pang Ho-cheung and Fruit Chan; and much, much more.
