Surprise #Screening of Hong Kong Protest Documentary "Revolution of Our Times" at Film Festival in #Japan
The Tokyo Filmex festival wrapped up on November 7, 2021 with the surprise screening of Hong Kong director Kiwi Chow's “Revolution of Our Times,” a documentary about the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong.
In an interview, a Hongkonger working in Japan told reporters that she cried so much and couldn’t stop while watching the film.
She added that the film was intense, which reminded her of countless police-civilian confrontations during the 2019 movement. “Perhaps , it is the pain that has connected Hongkongers,” she said.
Another local source reportrf that the theater was full as #Filmex quickly sold out some 700 tickets for the screening.
After the screening, the whole house of audiences stood on their feet and clapped for minutes to show their respect. Even some Japanese shed tears.
“Revolution of Our Times” had its world premiere in July in the #Cannes Film Festival, where the festival deliberately delayed announcing its programming in order to minimize the chance of political blowback from the Chinese government.
The Filmex organizers used the same approach and only announced the screening on November 6, which was one day before the event.
“Revolution of Our Times” was filmed by #KiwiChow for more than a year during the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong that was sparked off by the city government’s attempt to pass a law that would allow extradition to China.
The government action triggered massive peaceful protests, followed by several months of civil disobedience and on-street confrontation. This in turn was met by unprecedented military-style tactics on the part of Hong Kong police, an aggressive prosecution policy by the government and the imposition by Beijing of the #NationalSecurityLaw.
More recently, a new #FilmCensorship law introduced in Hong Kong in early November makes it unlikely that films like “Revolution of Our Times” will be allowed to screen in the city where it was made.

Advocacy Group Campaigns for #Screening Films about Hongkongers' Fight for Democracy on #Netflix
"Fight for Freedom Stand with Hong Kong," a group advocates for freedom and democracy in Hong Kong called for fellow citizens to appeal to Netflix and request the showing of some pro-democracy documenteries and films produced in Hong Kong. These titles include:
- Revolution of Our Times;
- May You Stay Forever Young; and
- Far from Home
All these films chronicled the Anti-ELAB movement in Hong Kong in 2019, capturing the bravery and extraordinary resilience of youths in the face of brutal repression, and their plea for international help.
Under the #NationalSecurityLaw, it is a safe assumption that these films cannot be officially shown in Hong Kong.
On its Facebook post, the advocacy group cited the Chinese Communist Party's pressure as the key hinderance to distribution of these films.
The group encouraged netizens to make their voices heard through the "Title Request" page of Netflix:

When he returned to class later. his identity was already made known, and he was trembling in fear when he stepped into his own classroom again. To his surprise, his classmates and teacher all hugged him. The whole room was in tears.
"I really wanted to include this scene in the film, but I couldn't. Still, I want Revolution of Our Times to be like this embrace. During the production, I cried many times. I felt like I relied on this film to comfort myself, to let out my anger and hate, to face my fears and trauma."
In closing, Chow remarked, "To those who remain in Hong Kong, including myself, those who are exiled overseas, and those in prison: My friends, although you may not have a chance to watch the film, I pray to my Heavenly Father that the mere existence of this film could be a comfort and an embrace.

Revolution of Our Times Wins "Most Influential" & "Best Cultural Image" Awards at FIPADOC Festival in France
Revolution of Our Times, a documentary banned in Hong Kong chronicling the 2019 Anti-ELAB Movement, has won two awards at the 2022 FIPADOC International Documentary Festival in France, in the catagories of "Most influential" and "Best Cultural Image".
This is the second time the film has won an international award, after taking home the Best Documentary at Taiwan's Golden Horse Film Festival in November last year.
Documentaries from Germany, France, and Belgium were also nominated at the FIPADOC awards, which honor films that inspire social justice, environmentalism, and human rights. The annual festival specializes in non-fiction films, and is now in its 34th year, having first been held in Cannes, France in 1987.
Since its premiere at Cannes Film Festival, every showing of "Revolution of Our Times" has attracted public attention and filled seats at film festivals around the world.
Director #KiwiChow, who resides in Hong Kong, had previously stated that he does not have a copy of the film on hand. The film is scheduled to be screened in Taiwan's theatres on February 25. It will be the first territory where the film is shown in public.
The documentary shows multiple angles of the Anti-ELAB protests from seven different iconic groups in the movement: former reporter turned activist #GwynethHo, who is now held in custody; professor #BennyTai; social workers; the seniors group #ProtectOurChildren; volunteer drivers; first aiders; university students turned frontline protesters; and high school students who left behind their wills before going out to fight.
The film weaves their stories together with now-classic images of the movement, and paints a realistic portrait of Hong Kong's fight for freedom and democracy.

Revolution of Our Times Shown in Cinemas in 5 Canadian Cities
Although #RevolutionOfOurTimes" is barred from screening in Hong Kong, a Canada-based organisation took it to Canada for screening.
The award-winning documentary by Hong Kong Film director #KiwiChow is now showing in 5 Canadian cities, Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and Victoria, beginning February 11.
CanMen, the group who organized the screening, said they originally planned only 4 screening sessions, but were overwhelmed by the public response as tickets were sold out in hours. After negotiating with cinemas, they added an additional 10 some screening sessions.
At Cineplex Odeon International Village in Vancouver, a small Lennon Wall was set up outside the theater for audiences to write down their feelings and responses.
The documentary took audiences back to three years ago, when the Anti-ELAB movement broke out in Hong Kong. Emotional sobbing can be heard in the theater throughout the showing.
At the end of the movie, audiences responded with thunderous applause. They sang "#GloryToHongKong," a popular protest song, and chanted "Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of our Times."
The documentary will also be shown in Taipei, Taiwan from February 25 onward.

“It is a shame that in the 21st century we must also see the persecution of the Uyghurs, that the Hong Kong documentary Revolution of Our Times can only be screened in Taiwan, and that authoritarian countries are invading Ukraine, but alongside all this bad news, we are also seeing an awakening, with many countries beginning to reflect on the whims of other authoritarian regimes and becoming more committed to defending democratic values,” said Wuer Kaixi, Executive Deputy Secretary of Human Rights Promotion Association in the Legislative Yuan and leader of the June Fourth Movement.

Kiwi CHOW, Director of <Revolution of Our Times>: I would sacrifice myself for justice, movie is only a path
By Translated by Guardians of Hong Kong December 28, 2021 • 30 December 2021
At the age of 18, when he already abandoned school life for three years, Chow asked himself how much he would sacrifice for movies. With weak English and poor HKCEE (HK Certificate of Education Examination) results, he was standing at a crossroad in his life. The question was “Should I return to school and try to get into the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts (HKAPA) and learn how to make movies (which I love so much)? Or should I abandon this path?”. “It seemed that I must do something most painful (take examinations) before something I will…

Kiwi Chow: Honesty Is My Bottom Line
By Translated by BeWater HK on Apr 4, 2022 • 18 May 2022
Host: The “Siege of Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU)” marked the waning of the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill (Anti-ELAB) Movement. We invite the Director for comments on how the failed encounter at PolyU affected the Anti-ELAB protesters.
Chow: The “Siege of PolyU” was covered in the documentary. They (the protesters) had persevered for an extended time. They were so exhausted, both physically and psychologically, that they had to leave, notwithstanding their unwillingness to give up or retreat. (Taking a deep breath) From June to November, for so many months they withstood tear gas and their bodies were telling them something.
