  • NYAFF Spotlights Hong Kong Cinema the New York Asian Film Festival
    NYAFF spotlights Hong Kong cinema The New York Asian Film Festival will return when its 17th edition kicks off on June 29. Among this year’s highlights will be the world premiere of Men On The Dragon, while Hong Kong director Dante Lam and Hong Kong actress Stephy Tang will be honoured with the Action Cinema Award and Screen International Rising Star Asia Award respectively. Men On The Dragon is a quintessential underdog story about a group of blue- collar workers who reluctantly join their company’s dragon boat team. Starring Francis Ng and Jennifer Yu, the directorial debut of veteran writer Sunny Chan is one of seven films in the second edition of NYAFF’s relaunched main competition. This film is being presented one year after the festival had the Young Blood series as a special focus on first-time directors from Hong Kong. Another world premiere from Hong Kong is House Of The Rising Sons which marks the comeback of Antony Chan after a 26-year hiatus from the director’s chair. His latest film chronicles the meteoric rise of The Wynners, the1970s popular teen-idol band that launched the careers of mega-stars Alan Tam and Kenny Bee. Chan who played the drums is an original band member. Celebrating the career of Lam as the frontrunner of contemporary Asian action genre, the festival holds a three-film tribute, including a special 10th anniversary screening of psychological thriller The Beast Stalker on 35mm print, MMA drama Unbeatable and his latest megahit Operation Red Sea which grossed US$580m in China alone to become the second highest film of all time in China and the biggest hit of 2018 in Asia.
