HK screens inspirational celebratory film

China Daily  

A poster of the film Look Up that celebrates the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's handover hangs in a cinema in the city on Thursday. CALVIN NG/CHINA DAILY Hong Kong people have a new option to mark the anniversary of the city's return－a celebratory film themed around ordinary people chasing their dreams over the past quarter-century. The film, entitled Look Up, includes four stories, featuring a young artist with autism and obsessive compulsive disorder who regains his confidence and creates works in his unique style; an adult son who gradually understands and reconciles with his father; a pop singer who becomes a Cantonese opera star; and a young Nepali man who suffers from discrimination but strives to become a professional lion dancer. The film was co-produced by four major Hong Kong film corporations－Bauhinia Culture Holdings Limited's Sil-Metropole Organization, Emperor Motion Pictures, Media Asia Film and One Cool Film Production. Speaking at the premiere on Tuesday, Wu Baoan, a board member of the Bauhinia Culture Group, said the movie fully demonstrates Hong Kong people's positive attitudes and can-do spirit.
