Additional screening for Film Archive's "Intimate Moments with The Master: Crossing Years (2024)" (with photos)
******************************************************************************************
     The Hong Kong Film Archive (HKFA) of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) is organising the screening programme "Intimate Moments with The Master: Crossing Years (2024)", featuring a documentary on the late renowned Chinese artist Huang Yongyu (1924-2023). In response to overwhelming feedback on the screening programme, an additional screening is scheduled at the Cinema of HKFA at 2pm on August 17 (Sunday) so that more audience members can appreciate the invaluable documentary. 

     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.

     The additional screening will be accompanied by a post-screening talk hosted by Yonfan.

     Tickets for the additional screening priced at $60 will be available at URBTIX (www.urbtix.hk) from July 18 (Friday). For telephone bookings, please call 3166 1288.
