Four Hong Kong directors and actors are invited to attend the event in Malaysia, including actress Kay Tse from “Out of the Shadow”, director Kwan Man Hin and actor Ling Man Lung from “The Remnant” and director Dickson Leung from “YUM Investigation”. The opening of the event will take place on 19 September at GSC The Starling Mall, where the opening film “Out of the Shadow” will be screened. Simultaneously, an exhibition titled “From Idea To Icon: Crafting the Hong Kong Cinema” will be kicked off. This exhibition adopts a new concept to present the filmmaking process, unveiling important steps from script creation to post-production and shares with the public how filmmakers invest their heart and soul into making a good film. Featured in the exhibition are: a giant script installation art of “Love Lies”, showcasing Ho Miu Ki’s screenwriting talent; edited action scene clips from “Out of the Shadow”, reflecting the power of film editing; the set and props of a laundromat scene from “The Remnant”, highlighting the charm of production design; and storyboard scripts and special effects comparison clips from “YUM Investigation”, demonstrating the process of imagination realization in post-production. The exhibition will be open for free public viewing from 21 September to 3 October at The Starling Mall.

The four talents from Hong Kong will visit Tunku Abdul Rahman University of Management and Technology for two sharing sessions. In one of the sessions, “Bridging the Gap: from Stage to Screen and Microphone to Film”, will feature actor Ling Man Lung and actress Kay Tse discussing their transitions from music and theatre to film, detailing their motivations and the influence of their past experiences on film performance, providing valuable insights into artistic expression. The other session, “Breaking New Ground: Hong Kong Cinema’s Next Generation”, will introduce emerging directors Kwan Man Hin and Dickson Leung, sharing their unique perspectives on the journey of filmmaking.

Detail information of the event will be available on GSC Malaysia’s official website (http://www.gsc.com.my), Facebook Page and mobile app.
