AFAA is a joint initiative of the
Hong Kong, Busan and Tokyo film

becoming a truly pan-Asian event,
which is the whole point of the
exercise,” said Roger Garcia, executive director of Hong Kong International Film Festival Society
(HKIFFS).
Garcia added that they were

looking into moving the awards
ceremony to different cities in
coming editions.
“AFAA is also a professional
academy drawn from the film
industry with a baseline of anyone
who has been nominated to the
AFAs being eligible for membership. We’re planning to undertake
events such as masterclasses and
possible mentorships for young
film-makers, and thinking about
having a relationship with AMPAS
and BAFTA. Different countries in
Asia such as Japan or Korea have
their own academies, but the
strength of the thing comes when
it’s a combination,” he said.
AFAA executive committee’s

of HKIFFS, director of Busan
Film Festival Lee Yong-kwan, and
director general of Tokyo International Film Festival and TIFFCOM
Yasushi Shiina were on hand to
celebrate the collaboration.

HKIFF In brief
R100
Dir/scr: Hitoshi Matsumoto. Jap. 2013.
100mins. I See It My Way
Cult Japanese film-maker Hitoshi Matsumoto
delivers another delightfully oddball film with
the subtly titled R100, which follows the travails of a genial Japanese family man whose
liking for S&M sees him pursued by an
increasingly strange band of leather-clad
dominatrixes. Matsumoto pushed boundaries
with his challenging and impressive earlier
films — such as Big Man Japan and Symbol —
and here presents his variation on the sex
comedy… not that there is any sex on show.
The film is a strange and often very funny
offering, never quite as it seems, from a director in control of his subject matter. Matsumoto
can always be relied on to deliver something
rare, challenging, entertaining and bizarre.

Journey To The West
Dir: Tsai Ming-liang. Fr-Tai. 2014. 56mins.
Asian Premiere — Master Class
The question “How slow can you go?” is
answered with sublime poise (quite literally)
by actor Lee Kang-sheng in Tsai Mingliang’s extraordinary Journey To The West (Xi
You), a film that may well be the last word in
‘Slow Cinema’. A follow-up to the Taiwanese
director’s 2012 short Walker — which originally formed part of the portmanteau film
Beautiful 2012 — Journey takes the same
premise, a Buddhist monk walking at something slower than tortoise pace, relocates it to
Marseille and introduces the always fascinating wild card of Denis Lavant. The words
‘hypnotic’ and ‘mesmerising’ are overused
with regard to such abstract cinema, but the
words genuinely apply in this remarkable
venture that is more like a performance or
installation art project than an ‘art film’.

Tamako In Moritorium
Dir: Nobuhiro Yamashita. Jap. 2013. 78mins.
I See It My Way
A gently quirky film that recalls the oddball
charm of his 2005 film Linda, Linda, Linda,
Nobuhiro Yamashita’s engaging and sweetly
beguiling Tamako In Moratorium is a laidback pleasure, revelling in its modest dramatic
movements and driven by an almost expressionless — but engaging — lead performance
by young Maeda Atsuko as genial slacker
Tamako. She is a delight as a 23 year old
floundering around, looking for direction but
also content with her father’s love and attention. Her subtle eye movements or changes in
posture tell as much about her character as
lines of script or exaggerated gestures, with
the film ultimately an understated gem.

Tui Na, the Chinese title of Blind Massage, is a form
of therapy often practised in China’s medical massage centres for the blind. There are more than
50,000 licensed blind masseurs in China, and Bi
Feiyu’s bestselling novel, which Ma Yingli has
adapted for the big screen, focuses on the lives and
loves of the practitioners in one such Nanjing centre. It is not difficult to figure out why Lou Ye (Mystery, Suzhou River) was attracted technically to this
project, and his rich use of light and darkness
helps create a strong visual ebb and flow, from jarring moments of high melodrama to the more gentle, blurred edges of love.
With the book well-known in China, coupled
with some bravura performances from his actors,
Blind Massage stands to perform well in the local
marketplace. International reaction may be more
divided, however, with some likely to want a more
coherent piece. While on the one hand, Lou abandons restraint to push the envelope visually in an
exciting — if occasionally confusing — way, Blind
Massage also has a tendency to trip over into high
melodrama. With so many of the ensemble cast
given a bloody resolution to their stories, Lou’s
screenplay can often seem careless, throwing away
the credibility he has worked so hard to earn.
Blind Massage fields an ensemble cast including
some sighted actors, notably Lou Ye’s regular collaborators Guo Xiaodong and Qin Hao. Spring
The Midnight After
Reviewed by Flossie Topping
The Midnight After is a quirky apocalyptic horror
from Hong Kong indie director Fruit Chan. Adapting the web-series turned bestselling novel Lost On
A Red Mini Bus To Tai Po by a writer who goes by
the pen name Pizza, the film follows 17 Hong
Kongers as they travel by nightbus to Tai Po, a market town on the outskirts of the city.
Things become mysterious when the bus passes
through a tunnel, and emerges into a completely
deserted street. The group soon starts to question
whether they may be the last 17 people alive.
Set against a backdrop of neon lights and whizzing traffic, Chan and cinematographer Lam Wahtsuen capture the bustling city in all its glory.
However, it is the diverse characters that make the
film so engaging, with a potbellied gambler (Lam
Suet), a cokehead (Sam Lee) and a psychic insurance saleswoman (Kara Hui) brought together to
discuss their fate in an abandoned Michelinstarred restaurant.
Black comedy comes in bursts when the characters start to be killed off in odd circumstances,
some contracting the plague and others simply
turning to stone and crumbling into dust. Odder
still, the group find the only clue they have been
given by their mysterious enemy is the lyrics to
David Bowie’s song Space Oddity, sent to them in
Morse code on their phones.

Guo and Qin play old college friends who are reunited at the centre. Dr Wang (Guo) has arrived in
Nanjing with his partially sighted fiancée Kong, but
their relationship is troubled — her parents will
never accept a blind man as her husband, while his
brother and parents are in trouble with loan sharks.
Dr Sha (Qin), a hopeless romantic, falls for Du
Hong, who is attracted to Xiao Ma in a slightly soapy
scenario. All stories will come to a violent resolution,
though, as Lou’s camera drifts in and out of focus.
“The blind are in the light, while the sighted hide in
the shadows,” concludes the screenplay, and it is a
poignant observation. Lou illuminates and shades
their existence in all their heightened emotions.

Fans of Chan will warm to his unique sense of
humour and many pop-culture references, such as
having his characters play Candy Crush or indulge
in air guitar with a mop, but for a wider audience,
the randomness of events and gratuitous violence
may leave them pining for a more fixed genre or
plot structure. The Midnight After may be best
suited to a local audience.
In his earlier films, Chan made numerous references to Hong Kong’s relationship to China and its
burgeoning identity. The Midnight After continues
that theme, delivering a distinct local flavour while
also throwing in commentary about Hong Kong’s
zombie-like masses, the lasting effects of the SARS
virus and the 2011 nuclear meltdown in Fukushima, Japan.
During the film we are told “Hong Kong doesn’t
do sci-fi”, but Chan has successfully defied genre
conventions here.

Project’s country of origin Japan
Project’s country of origin Afghanistan
Hong Kong DoP Jason Kwan is set to make his directorial debut on A Nail Clipper Romance, starring ChineseCanadian actor Shawn Dou.
The story is based on The Nail Clipper Monster, the
pioneering microfilm produced by maverick film-maker
Pang Ho Cheung’s Making Film Productions in collaboration with Samsung and Sina, which achieved more
than 400 million hits within two months of its online
launch in 2010.
Unlike its inspiration, which is more of a serious
drama, the new project is a romantic comedy with a
light-hearted plot. Dou, who made his acting debut in
Zhang Yimou’s 2010 Under The Hawthorn Tree, plays a
womanising young man from Honolulu’s Chinatown
whose life is turned upside down after falling for a mysterious woman with an unusual appetite, who wants to
open a restaurant that serves nail clippers.
Filming will take place in Hawaii. “A Chinese story is
not necessarily set in a Chinese region. Hawaii has a
4.7% Chinese-speaking population but hardly any Chinese films have been set there. I believe this will be a
refreshing experience for our audience,” said Kwan.
The screenplay is by Luk Yee Sum, whose writing
credits include Pang’s box-office hits Love In The Buff
and Vulgaria. Both were shot by Kwan and produced by
Pang and his partner Subi Liang. The pair serve as producers of the new project.
Kwan has built up a large portfolio, from music videos
and TV commercials to films, over the past two decades.
His other recent work as DoP includes Cold War, As The
Light Goes Out and Pang’s Aberdeen, which opens this
year’s Hong Kong International Film Festival.
WY Wong
Japanese director Hitoshi Kitagawa is in pre-production
with his HAF project Dance Of Death. The story follows a
man who, 30 years after murdering his love rival, brings
his wife and daughter to the village Bon festival, declaring that he will dance unto death to atone for the crime.
“I was born as the son of a Buddhist priest and have
been constantly aware of death since childhood. At some
point in my life, I became obsessed with the idea that the
most beautiful way to die is to prove your love by death,”
says Kitagawa.
The director’s previous films include Damn Life,
which won the Grand Prize at Pia Film Festival and was
in Busan’s New Currents competition as well as Tokyo’s

in Cannes.
Kitagawa says Dance Of Death will be in line with his
previous films in the sense that “something beyond good
and evil, and human sinful nature, will be portrayed”.
But this time he will also depict love through the body of
a man dancing, which is both physically and visually
captivating.
He adds that the film could be shot anywhere in the
world. “I think it would be best if something typical of
the region, such as historical landscape, local culture and
residents’ faces, add atmosphere to the film,” he says.
Producer Akiko Yukawa, whose credits include Suite
Dreams and A Fallen Apple, says they are looking for an
appropriately charismatic dancer/actor, who is tough in
body and spirit, and they are “not limited to Japan”.

Hip Hop Kabul is a documentary feature that tells of the
struggles and dreams of Afghanistan’s first female rapper, Paradise Sorouri. Over the course of two years, the
film follows her courageous, emotional and thoughtprovoking musical journey in the patriarchal society of
Afghanistan.
“We have been documenting her live performances at
major international concerts. Through this film I aim to
promote her as a female role model challenging the traditional role of Afghan women and introducing Afghan
rap as a new genre of artistic expression in Afghanistan,”
says director Fazila Amiri.
Most of the film has been shot in Kabul and other cities in Afghanistan including Jalalabad, Herat and Bamiyan. Amiri is seeking funds to complete the final 30 days
of shooting, followed by post-production.
Amiri’s short films Paaizeb and Gerreh screened at
Montreal World Film Festival 2010 and Atlantic Film
Festival 2011 respectively; Hip Hop Kabul is her first feature documentary.
Hong-Kong born producer Paul Lee is producing the
film under Kabuli Camera, a production company
founded in Afghanistan in 2013 to present contemporary
views of Afghanistan to both the national and a larger
international audience.
Lee has previously directed and produced short films
such as Thick Lips Thin Lips (1994), which won a silver
award at Hong Kong Independent Short Film and Video
Awards, and The Offering (1999), which screened at Berlin International Film Festival. He also made documentary These Shoes Weren’t Made For Walking, which
screened at Chicago International Film Festival in 1995.
Hip Hop Kabul is Kabuli Camera’s first project.

I Miss You When I See You
Hong Kong director Simon Chung’s I Miss You When I
See You looks at the reconnection of two old school
friends after a long separation. Although they are now
worlds apart — one is a successful professional in Hong
Kong and the other, in Canada, suffers from depression
— their rekindled gay relationship unleashes a complex
set of emotions.
“The story can be seen as a summation of some of the
themes and preoccupations that I’ve been developing in
my work over the past 15 years,” says Chung. “For example, the two main characters are named after the leads in
my short, Stanley Beloved, and the storyline can be seen
as an attempt to probe the fate of these characters 15
years later.”
Chung started writing the script two years ago and it is
now in its fifth draft. Although it will be shot on location
in Hong Kong and Vancouver, the film has a modest
budget of $300,000, including a grant received from
Hong Kong Arts Development Council last year.
Chung is working for the first time with Jacqueline
Liu, who is producing through her new production company Playhouse. Her previous producer’s credits include
Butterfly, August Story and Plastic City.
After graduating from Toronto’s York University,
Chung has worked in various capacities in Hong Kong’s
film and TV industry. His short films have earned him
multiple international film awards, while his feature
works include Innocent, End Of Love, which premiered at
Berlin in 2009, and more recently Speechless. He is also a
founding member of independent film distributor Ying
E Chi.

Project’s country of origin Bhutan
The Honeygiver Among The Dogs is a mystery-drama as
well as a love story between an undercover detective,
Kinley, investigating the case of a missing Buddhist nun
in a remote village in Bhutan, and his only suspect,
Choden, a young woman labelled the village ‘demoness’
due to her solitary and seductive ways.
Kinley soon finds himself torn between suspicion and
intense attraction to Choden. He slowly realises her stories of historical dakinis (enlightened Buddhist women of
supernatural powers and wisdom) might provide the
clues needed to complete the investigation. Currently in
pre-production, the film will be shot in Bhutan’s capital
Thimpu and a small village in central Bhutan.
“The film brings to light lesser-known stories of historical women from our culture, so it’s very specific and
yet has universal themes of mystery, compassion and
finding your ‘truth’,” explains Roder, who is looking for
international funding and distribution at HAF. “Many of
the investigative tools used by the detective are not at all
scientific but based on visions, stories and intuition.”
After making several short films, The Honeygiver
Among The Dogs marks Roder’s feature debut. Her short
film Original Photocopy Of Happiness was screened at
Brussels International Independent Film Festival in 2011
and won a special jury mention at Hong Kong Independent Film & Video Awards in 2012.
Bhutan-based Dakinny Productions, founded by
Roder in 2009, is producing the film. The male lead, Kinley, will be played by Bhutanese actor Jamyang Jamtsho
Wangchuk, who played the 14-year-old Dalai Lama in
Jean-Jacques Annaud’s Seven Years In Tibet (1997).

Dir Philip Yung
Hong Kong director Philip Yung deals with the real-life
massacre that took place on board a Chinese fishing
boat, Lu Rong Yu no. 2682, in his new project The Sea.
The story follows the 30 men who set sail from northern China on a two-year fishing voyage at the end of
2010. Their long and lonely trip was cut short when
some of the men, dissatisfied with their pay and working
conditions, turned against the ship’s captain. The mutiny
triggered a series of cold-blooded killings lasting six
months, after which only 11 of the men returned alive.
Screenwriter San Shi carefully researched the tragedy
and completed a first draft of the script. She feels she has
a connection to the crew members, who came from near
her birthplace in Shandong province.
Yung says he was shocked when he first heard the
story from her. “The storytelling will be precise yet poetic
in portraying the nightmare-like reality on board the
ship,” he says.
Xstream Pictures’ Chow Keung, who regularly collaborates with Chinese film-makers Jia Zhangke and Yu
Lik Wai, will produce the film. Since 1997, Chow has produced 28 Chinese films and documentaries with co-producers worldwide, including Jia’s Still Life, which won
the Golden Lion at Venice in 2006.
Yung is currently prepping his third feature, Port Of
Call, winner of the 2011 HAF award for a Hong Kong
project, with production scheduled to start later this year.
His previous works include Glamorous Youth, May We
Chat and documentary All Right With The World, while
his recent writing credits include Rigor Mortis and As The
Light Goes Out.
