Hong Kong Directors of protest-themed movie win 2021 NETPAC award
The Taiwan Golden Horse Film Festival and Asian Film Promotion Alliance presented this year’s #NETPAC Award to two young directors from Hong Kong, Yum-hap (ä»»äż ) and Lam-sum (林森) on November 24.
Yum and Lam are directors of “May You Stay Forever Young”, a protest-themed movie that took the 2019 Anti-ELAB movement in Hong Kong as its backdrop. The movie portrays a group of young people in Hong Kong who gathered voluntarily in a bid to rescue those who attempted to sacrifice themselves for democracy and suicide.
The movie has earlier been shortlisted for the 58th Taiwan #GoldenHorseAwards and is running for the best new director and best editing on Saturday night (November 27).
The production team of “May You Stay Forever Young” was elated to be awarded. Amidst fading freedom in Hong Kong, the team sighed that the movie was first “impossible” to produce and now “impossible” to release.
“Many people have contributed to this movie, but they have to stay nameless and remain in the dark in order to carry on their fight for freedom,” the team added. “The place where this movie is allowed to screen is where freedom stands.”
The production team expressed gratitude to the Network for the Promotion of Asian Cinema (#NETPAC) and they also thanked Taiwan for freedom.
