Co-organized by I·CARE Film Festival and Hong Kong International Film Festival, we are going to present you Edward Yang (1947 – 2007)’s classic “A brighter Summer Day” on the last school day. It is also a tribute to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Yang’s passing. The screening details are as follows:

1991｜Taiwan｜237min｜In Mandarin with Chinese subtitles

Director: Edward Yang
Yang’s monumental film carries a vision and impact unmatched in Chinese language cinema for years. A deliberately forgotten era was painstakingly reconstructed, by music, words, and the subtle rapport of neighborhood characters. Through the eyes of a teenager (Chang Chen) we recover episodic moments of Taiwan’s history, seeing how mounting oppression resulted in murderous consequences. The summer sun is glimmering, but not in people’s hearts. Yang was still longing for that bright(er) summer day, whether or not it would come. Newly restored version.
