Johnnie To, Hong Kong film director and the favourite foreign film director of Quentin Tarantino, enjoyed his international breakthrough with his film noir signature and gangster films. He has contributed for almost 100 films in Hong Kong. 

During the mid-90s, by facing the depression of Hong Kong cinema, To decided to establish his own label of production studio, Milkyway Image, with his colleague Wai Ka Fai back in the time working at the television. Milkyway Image has created many experimental and imaginative films by employing a unique business strategy. In this programme, we are able to see three incredible films produced by the Milkyway Image.

New Scope of discussion in Hong Kong Cinema

This programme provides a wider context of the societal changes in Hong Kong in recent decades. It wishes to inspire a new scope for discussion, in reflection of a "revolutionary time".

This is, confidentially, also a special programme responding to the forthcoming “Hong Kong Season” at the Prince Charles Cinema, as an attempt to provide a non-politicised and more balanced space for public debate.
