Excerpt
from Udine Far East Film Festival press release from April 21
st,
2012:
«The
future of Hong Kong cinema? It’s them: Fresh Wave young directors!». Word of
Johnnie
TO, guest at the fourteenth edition of
Far East Film,to present his
comedy
and, as mentioned,
four short-films
from the
Fresh Wave Short Film Festival.
«You, guys, have to shoot as
many movies as you can – added the grand master, talking to Wong Wai-kit, Mo
Lai and Li Yin-fung, the three
who followed him to Udine –
and, once you are done shooting them, you must bring them right away to Far
East Film! ».
No
wonder, the
Friulian Festival is the first Western bank touched by
Mister TO to promote his students’ works (pieces that had never before left the
Asian border!). On June 29
th, they will move to the tenth edition of
Paris Cinéma, taking part in the
section: a dense tribute to the former British colony’s cinema.
Fresh
Wave, run by Johnnie TO himself on behalf of Hong Kong
Arts Development Council, is the voice of
young Hong Kong talents and
found in this legendary director (President of Film and Media Arts Group) a
solid pillar and an enthusiastic international ambassador: discovering,
nurturing and promoting the
of directors and
filmmakers are, according to him, the best way to preserve the creative soul of
his beloved Hong Kong and to make sure it will persevere in the future.
