Anita
Directed by Longman Leung
Anita Mui lost her father when she was young and grew up in a single parent household where she fell into show business for survival. Anita and her sister sang to provide for their family. It skyrocketed Anita to stardom, but it was also her eventual downfall. This is the story of Anita Mui, the “daughter of Hong Kong” and a beloved Cantopop icon.
Coffin Homes
Directed by Fruit Chan
Soaring property prices drive dwellers to take every insane effort necessary to secure a cramped space, even if it means sharing the same roof with the dead.
Drifting
Directed by Jun Li
Ex-prisoner Fai is roughing it on the streets, but the government doesn’t care why he’s a junkie or why he went to jail. Fai lives in one of the poorest districts in Hong Kong, and is regularly forced to move due to the city’s redevelopment projects. Sick of being evicted, he teams up with his fellow companions and a young social worker to demand compensation for their losses in court.
