Hong Kong Movies Never Die
“Hong Kong Movies Never Die ” marks its tenth anniversary — ten years witnessing the highs and lows of Hong Kong cinema. This selection features films I believe are worth recommending from the past decade. They may not be flawless, but each is the work of an emerging director. As the saying goes, “the younger generation surpasses the old,” and newcomers are no less capable than their predecessors. To keep Hong Kong cinema alive and unbroken — to truly achieve “Hong Kong Movies Never Die ” — please support these new forces of quality Hong Kong filmmaking.

The Art of Lesbian Visibility
Taiwan has long since become the first country in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage, and LGBTQ+ lives seem to be increasingly woven into everyday life. Yet, when we turn our gaze to Asia’s mainstream media and cinema, where are the stories of lesbian women? The love left unspoken, the relationships that defy definition, and the intimacies that blur the line between friendship and romance—are they still hidden beyond the frame? And when lesbian women do appear on screen, how often are their stories truly told from their own perspectives? This time, through a collection of films, we summon those who have always been there, yet have rarely been seen. “I summon you by this name. Reveal yourself.”
