A restoration of Peter Yung's very underseen Hong Kong New Wave crime film The System will premiere at this year's HKIFF. Yung's work never quite hits the mark but it always intrigues me, like his gnarly karmic horror Life After Life.

Had the distinct pleasure of chatting with Japanese actress Sakura Ando (LOVE EXPOSURE, 100 YEN LOVE, SHOPLIFTERS, GODZILLA MINUS ONE) last night about her eclectic career, studying English in Colchester & much more besides. She’s in town for an HKIFF retrospective. Feature for SCMP to come!

If you don't me as much on Blue Sky in the next week and a half, blame the Hong Kong International Film Festival. (I've got tickets for 13 of its screenings! Two down; 11 to go!)

Had the great pleasure of interviewing Taiwanese animator Joe Hsieh earlier this week ahead of #HKIFF about his love of horror, his collaborations with Yonfan, preference for hand-drawn animation over A.I. and how his mother became his biggest influence.

Why fierce mothers and violent monsters star in Joe Hsieh’s animations
Taiwanese director Hsieh reflects on the strength of women, preferring hand-drawn animation over AI, and using violence in film.

On that Ceausescu note: highly recommend "The Christmas That Never Came". LOUD applause at the end of the film at the HKIFF screening I was at. You'll fully understand why upon seeing the end scenes AND knowing Hong Kong.
My favourite Hong Kong International Film Festival offering viewed thus far is a film from... Romania!
The New Year That Never Came screened -- against the odds? -- at the Hong Kong International Film Festival (Film review)
Minutes before the Hong Kong International Film Festival screening of a (supposedly sold out) screening of The New Year That Never Came ...

There's an interview with "The Boys from the Sand Pebbles" in a HKIFF publication "A Tribute to Action Choreographers" and Chan Siu-ping says the French stunt team from "Les Tribulations d'un Chinois en Chine" were responsible for introducing the use of cardboard boxes to HK stunt men.

Malaysian-Hong Kong co-production "Pavane for an Infant", which was one of the opening films of this year's Hong Kong International Film Festival, is one of two films I've seen showing the use of baby boxes. (The other is "Broker", a 2022 South Korean film directed by Japan's Hirokazu Kore-eda.)
