  • “Our Time Will Come” Wins 5 Trophies at Hong Kong Film Awards The
    “Our Time Will Come” Wins 5 Trophies at Hong Kong Film Awards The 37th Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony took place on 15 April at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre. The star-studded event this year was broadcast live on ViuTV, which had produced a series of film awards-themed programmes to usher in the big day, including reality shows on the nominees of Best New Director and Best New Performer. Ann Hui’s wartime epic “Our Time Will Come”, based on the heroics of a resistance group fighting Japanese occupation in Hong Kong, was the big winner bagging five awards. Wilson Yip’s action film “Paradox” received three nods while upcoming director Chan Tai Lee’s “Tomorrow Is Another Day” snatched two. “Tomorrow is Another Day” is a social drama that puts autism on the big screen. Veteran actor Louis Koo continued his awards-winning streak by picking up his first Best Actor honour at the Hong Kong Film Awards. Koo also won Best Actor, the first major acting prize in his career, at the Asian Film Awards in March this year. “I have been thinking how we can all make Hong Kong film thrive,” Koo said in a heartfelt speech. “Hongkongers must be united… the industry needs your support.” Reflecting on inspirational moments encountered in the industry over the last 20 years, Koo paid tribute to the Lifetime Achievement Award winner Chor Yuen, “When I was filming with Uncle Chor Yuen years ago on the set of a TVB show, his advice influenced me until today. He said that we should never give up on any scene, and any line of dialogue.

Left to come to terms with themselves and their differences, Adrienne (Juliette Binoche) a successful New York designer, Frédéric (Charles Berling) an economist and university professor in Paris, and Jérémie (Jérémie Renier) a dynamic businessman in China, confront the end of childhood, their shared memories, background and unique vision of the future. 1 ABOUT SUMMER HOURS: INTERVIEW WITH OLIVIER ASSAYAS The script of your film was inspired by an initiative from the Musée d’Orsay. Was this a constraint during the writing process? Not at all. In the beginning, there was the desire of the Musée d’Orsay to associate cinema with the celebrations of its twentieth birthday by offering «carte blanche» to four directors from very different backgrounds.

This year, we continue to organise the Hong Kong Film Festival which will feature eight Hong Kong movies which have not been screened in Malaysia for the fans of Hong Kong movies here. • Among them, we are proud to present A Simple Life which is our opening movie tonight. The leading actress, Deanie Ip, won the Best Actress in the Venice International Film Festival. Director Ann Hui won the Best Director in Taipei’s Golden Horse Awards. A Simple Life has also been nominated for the Asian Film Awards and the Hong Kong Film Awards and garnered other prominent Hong Kong and international Film awards. • We are glad to have the Director Ann Hui and Deanie Ip with us tonight, who will come on stage later on to greet the audience. 2 • The outstanding performance of the movie has reflected the status of Hong Kong as one of the major film production centres in the world.
