Let's Cines

Film is not only a kind of entertainment but also a form of art.  The Hong Kong Film Archive has selected ten films which are especially appropriate for students, including engaging and inspiring local animations, feature films that reflect the pulse of the times, and film adaptations of literary classics that align with the new senior secondary Chinese Language curriculum.  Post-screening talks conducted by well-known film critics will further enable students to understand the unique position that film holds in our history and culture.

Atomic bombs were dropped on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, leaving devastation and aftereffects that are still felt today.  A sobering drama directed by Patrick Lung Kong, Hiroshima 28 is one of the first ever Hong Kong film with an anti-war and anti-nuclear message.  After learning that her father is a survivor of the Hiroshima bombing, a Japanese woman (Josephine Siao) becomes an activist to raise awareness about the effects carried over to the next generation.  The film was made on the 28th anniversary of the bombing, and its opening sequences mixes elements of documentary by featuring footage of the cast participating in a commemorative event in Hiroshima.
