Programme brief: 

A conversation between ESEA and Hong Kong filmmakers, this panel invites filmmakers to reflect on their experiences in Asia and the UK. How significant a role does location play? Do you ever feel like a stranger in your own land during filming? Does your ethnic minority status in the UK affect how you develop a film? How do you avoid falling into traps of stereotypical portrayals or preconceptions?

Followed by a Q&A and networking session, this is an opportunity to learn, understand, and explore the impact of dislocation and relocation and to discuss how the UK film industry can continue to work towards diversifying on and off-screen presence. 


本座談會邀請多位東亞及東南亞與香港的導演促膝而談，探討在地亞洲及英倫拍攝的體驗。究竟地點在當中扮演多大的角色？拍攝時，會否有身在故地猶如異鄉的感覺？少數族裔身分對製片是否有影響？如何避免墮進先入之見和刻板印象的陷阱？

會後特設問答及交流環節。與會者可學習、理解、探視移地和離散的影響，及為英國電影業幕前幕後展現多元出謀獻策。

Hong Kong Film Festival UK

The Hong Kong Film Festival UK, HKFF (UK), aims to shine an international spotlight on Hong Kong’s creativity and humanity through film. The festival also strives to promote cultural interactions and exchanges between Hong Kong communities and UK citizens. Hong Kong’s world-renowned cinema was born out of its unique history and rich social context. Building on this vivid and eclectic history, the Festival aims to introduce a new wave of Hong Kong cinema that has blossomed in an era of drastic transformation. It is time to tell Hong Kong’s story again, to preserve and promote Hong Kong's cultural heritage, and to reflect on the city's enchanting, complex, and challenging reality from a fresh perspective.
