HKFA WEEK
More quotes from old, old, old Hong Kong Film Festival interviews. Let's hear from the art film directors today:
"In one way, the impulse to make this film [AH YING] dates back to the death of my friend Koh Wu in 1982. He died before he was able to being shooting the film he had been scripting and I wanted to make a film about him. Most of my films are about people, and many are about people I've known."
- Allen Fong, from a 1983 interview
"I started working for television at the age of 23. In a span of three years I made a lot of TV-films which I personally liked very much. But my first three commercial features were made with little awareness. After making them I went through two traumatic years: the abortion of two films halfway through the project and the death of someone dear to me. I was really at the cross-roads of both my career and my personal life. But one thing was clear: I could no longer make films which betrayed myself."
- Yim Ho, from a 1984 interview about HOMECOMING
