Film Archive to premiere documentary "Crossing Years" on renowned artist Huang Yongyu (with photos)
******************************************************************************************
Huang was a renowned Chinese painter and writer, who had set foot across the country. His works are not only infused with elements from the West, but also the rhythmic vitality of Chinese ink art, making Huang a highly esteemed name in contemporary art.
Director Yonfan and Huang had known each other since the 1970s. Three days before Chinese New Year's Eve in 2012, Huang, at his studio, candidly shared his life stories with Yonfan, from day-to-day life, the changing of the times, human nature, creative inspiration, the warmth of friendship to matters of life and death. Twelve years later, Yonfan produced "Crossing Years" with the valuable historical footage.
All screenings will be accompanied by post-screening talks, hosted by Yonfan or the executive director of the film, Lee Yat-fung.
