Hong Kong protest films “Revolution of Our Times” and “May You Stay Forever Young” will have their British premiere in March at a new film festival organized by artists and culture sector workers who have relocated to the U.K.
Ng Ka-leung, a producer and director of Hong Kong dystopian anthology “Ten Years,” and documentary filmmaker and writer Wong Ching, co-curators of Hong Kong Film Festival U.K. 2022, said the festival is more than just about screening films that can no longer be shown in their hometown due to political changes.
It is organized by Hong Kong Umbrella Community, a U.K.-based body co-founded by Nathan Law, a former Hong Kong lawmaker who is now living in exile in Britain. The inaugural edition of the festival is funded by private donors, but event organizers hoped to raise funds from other sources for future editions.

Exploring his past through family photographs, home video and interviews, Alvin Tsang looks at what he sees as pivotal moments in defining his own view of family. From migrating from Hong Kong, his parents’ divorce, reuniting with siblings, to his sister’s wedding, Alvin Tsang delves into his past to help define the present.
“Reunification” succeeds as an introspective look at one’s own past by working with universal themes and messages which can appeal to a broader audience. Even though Alvin’s family is unique to him and his experiences, certain concepts, such as changing perspective of your own parents as you begin to mature, touch on something that almost every introspective individual will come to terms with at some point in their life. The production does balance well universal messages of the strength of family, while still keeping the content feeling unique to Alvin’s own understanding of life.
