Suicide Notice | More than four months after submission, film barred from screening as “prejudicial to national security”; Kiwi Chow: National Security Law has harmed Hong Kong, another case
由周冠威執導、黃秋生主演的電影《自殺通告》，自今年 8 月 4 日送檢後，逾四個月仍無回音。周冠威指於 12 月 12 日正式獲通知，指影片涉「不利於國家安全」，因此不宜上映，意味《自殺通告》在港正式被禁映。「當然係痛苦，自己嘅作品、好多人嘅心血唔能夠喺香港可以放映到，係好遺憾、好痛心嘅一件事。」周冠威接受《集誌社》訪問時說。他坦言，認為決定「對人不對事」、料未來也難在香港拍電影，但他仍會繼續創作、甚至加強了決心，「我拍啲乜嘢呢，我希望仍然係自由嘅。」
電影、報刊及物品管理辦事處回覆指「一直依法處理所有電影送檢申請，不會評論個別個案」。
The film Suicide Notice, directed by Kiwi Chow and starring Anthony Wong, received no response for more than four months after being submitted for inspection on 4 August this year. Chow said he was formally notified on 12 December that the film was considered “prejudicial to national security” and therefore unsuitable for screening, meaning that Suicide Notice had officially been banned from screening in Hong Kong. “Of course it is painful. My own work, and the efforts of so many people, cannot be screened in Hong Kong. It is a very regrettable and heartbreaking thing,” Chow said in an interview with The Collective. He admitted that he believed the decision was “targeting the person rather than the matter” and expected it would be difficult to make films in Hong Kong in the future, but said he would continue creating and had even strengthened his resolve: “Whatever I make, I hope it will still be free.”
The Office for Film, Newspaper and Article Administration said it “has always handled all film-submission applications in accordance with the law and will not comment on individual cases.”

Hong Kong Film Festival Organised by Hongkongers in US to Screen ‘Beyond the Dream’ Globally Online, Inspired by Cinema’s Cancellation of Re-release
近年港人散離各地，造就更多港產電影在異地放映的機會。由在美港人成立的非牟利組織銀幕．香港（Hong Kong On Screen ）自去年起舉辦香港電影節，在北美城市放映經典和新一代的港產片。至今屆，電影節更另設全球線上放映單元，觀眾可以在指定時間內免費觀看周冠威執導的《幻愛》，該電影曾在今年5月被本港戲院取消重映場次。
As Hongkongers have dispersed around the world in recent years, more Hong Kong films have had opportunities to be screened overseas. The non-profit organisation Hong Kong On Screen, established by Hongkongers in the United States, has organised a Hong Kong Film Festival since last year, screening classic and contemporary Hong Kong films in cities across North America. In this edition, the festival has added a global online screening programme, allowing audiences to watch Norris Wong’s ‘Beyond the Dream’ free of charge within a designated period. The film’s re-release screenings were cancelled by Hong Kong cinemas in May this year.

Hong Kong Connection airs Ho Kai-ming footage from Bishop Hill, labels it “viewer-provided”; source says RTHK barred from interviewing 47 case defendants
消息人士向《立場新聞》透露，港台高層早前曾提醒，不可約訪因民主派初選被控串謀顛覆國家政權罪的 47 人。而15號播出的《鏗鏘集》曾使用一段由47人之一的何啟明在深水埗主教山配水庫內部拍攝的影片。何辦事處職員在他還押期間，與港台達成共識不使用其名字播出片段。
A source told Stand News that senior RTHK management had earlier reminded staff not to arrange interviews with the 47 people charged with conspiracy to subvert state power over the democratic primary. Hong Kong Connection, broadcast on the 15th, used footage filmed inside the Bishop Hill Reservoir in Sham Shui Po by Ho Kai-ming, one of the 47. During Ho’s remand, staff at his office reached an understanding with RTHK that his name would not be used when the footage was broadcast.
