The popular and controversial independent film Ten Years disappeared from local cinemas screens while houses were still full. Many people had no chance to see a film that via five thought provoking short films imagines what Hong Kong may be like in 2025.
As part of a community initiative Ten Years will be screened – with English subtitles – at 30 different locations across the city on 1 April. The screenings all begin at 7pm and there will be a one-hour online discussion between 9-10pm with the director after the film.
For more on Ten Years see the facebook page. Here’s a list of the screenings, many venues filled up within minutes of the screenings being annouced, so remember to confirm first.
