無處不閱讀｜「大書展」以外 獨立書商的新書推介 吳靄儀：這小書展特別有意義⋯⋯
The “Reading Everywhere” independent publishing book fair and independent bookstore festival, held at Hunter Bookstore on Ki Lung Street in Sham Shui Po, entered its second day today (18th) in the rain. Footfall at noon was not particularly high, which store manager Wong Man-huen believed was related to the weather. Cartoonist Zunzi and former Legislative Council member Margaret Ng also arrived in succession to show their support. Ng said independent bookstores and publishers should definitely be supported, adding that they are a Hong Kong characteristic. Several bookstores and publishers said sales were good so far.

無處不閱讀｜欣賞獨立書店選書視角 參展商：步伐較慢，讀者能靜下來聽介紹書本
The book fair at the Convention and Exhibition Centre opened yesterday (the 16th). Hunter Bookstore, located on Ki Lung Street in Sham Shui Po, was also stepping up preparations, bringing in boxes of books under the scorching sun. At noon, a reporter pointed out that the metal shutter had not yet been fully raised. As shop manager Wong Man-hyun reached out, photographers immediately raised their cameras to capture the moment. Wong turned back awkwardly and said with a laugh, “I’m not tall enough.” She called over another person in charge, Wayne, who gave it a gentle push. The words “Hunter Bookstore” appeared in the sunlight, and the third Independent Book Fair officially opened.
會展的書展昨日（16日）開幕，坐落深水埗基隆街的獵人書店，亦加快腳步，烈日下，運來一箱箱書籍。正午時分，有記者提醒獵人書店，鐵閘還未完整拉起，店長黃文萱伸手之際，攝影記者們立刻舉機捕捉這刻，黃文萱尷尬地回頭，笑說：「我唔夠高添。」她找來另一位負責人Wayne 輕輕一推，「獵人書店」四字展示在日光之下，第三屆獨立書展正式開幕。
今年至少有三間獨立出版社，不獲貿發局批準參加位於灣仔會展的書展，獵人書店則聯同 14 間出版社，一連四日（17日至20日）舉辦「無處不閱讀、獨立出版書展暨獨立書店祭」，全港多間獨立書店亦響應，舉辦新書發布會等活動。

SUPER JUNIOR香港演唱會售票平台惹爭議 港歌迷質疑缺港幣結算安排
South Korean group SUPER JUNIOR will hold two concerts in Hong Kong in September. It was announced yesterday that the official ticketing platforms would be Damai and Fantopia, neither of which is a traditional local ticketing platform commonly used by Hong Kong residents, prompting some local fans to question the lack of Hong Kong-dollar settlement arrangements. The Consumer Council said that if tickets for a local concert are sold through a ticketing website operated by a non-local merchant, and the transaction is conducted directly with that merchant, any dispute would "generally not fall within the scope of mediation in which the Consumer Council can intervene." It urged consumers to consider the risks before making a transaction.
The concerts, part of 《SUPER SHOW 10》, will be held at AsiaWorld-Expo in early September. The official ticketing platforms announced yesterday were the mainland ticketing platform Damai and Fantopia, which has previously used Macanese patacas (MOP) to sell tickets for events in Hong Kong. The concert organiser iMe HONG KONG and ticketing platform Fantopia responded to the controversy today (10th), saying that Fantopia had registered in Hong Kong two years ago and that payments for tickets would be collected in Hong Kong dollars when sales opened, urging prospective buyers to "use it with confidence."
南韓組合SUPER JUNIOR將於9月來港舉行兩場演唱會，昨公布官方售票平台為大麥及Fantopia，但均非港人慣用的傳統本地售票平台，惹部分香港歌迷質疑缺乏港幣結算安排。消費者委員會表示，倘本地演唱會門票透過非本地商戶營運的售票網站銷售，且交易乃直接與非本地商戶進行，倘現爭議，「一般不屬於消委會可介入調停的範圍」，呼籲消費者交易前先考慮當中風險。
涉事演唱會乃《SUPER SHOW 10》，將於9月初在亞洲國際博覽館舉行兩場，昨公布的官方售票平台分別為內地售票平台「大麥」及曾選用澳門元（MOP）銷售本港活動門票的「Fantopia」。演唱會主辦方iMe HONG KONG及售票平台Fantopia今（10日）回應爭議稱，Fantopia前年已在港註冊，指門票開售收款時會採用港幣，籲有意購票人士「放心使用」。

【影意志獨立短片獎】陳朗昇受訪紀錄片奪銀獎 評審：沉重之餘見不願放棄的生命力
The results of the inaugural [[影意志獨立短片獎]] were announced on Wednesday night (2nd). “A Spark Cannot Set the Prairie Ablaze”, directed by Cheng CC and documenting former Hong Kong Journalists Association chair Chan Long-sing, won the Silver Award. “My Pen Is Blue,” directed by Shao Zhi-en and focusing on people released from prison over social movement-related cases, won the Gold Award. Director Lam Sam, one of the judges, described the former as a rare documentary that shows not only the heaviness and helplessness of reality, but also a will to live on without giving up.
Vincent Chui, the artistic director of [[影意志獨立短片獎]], read the acceptance speech on behalf of the director of “A Spark Cannot Set the Prairie Ablaze”. The director said they had spent several years filming the ups and downs of, and perseverance shown by, many Hong Kong journalists. However, after Chan Long-sing received a warning and “A Spark Cannot Set the Prairie Ablaze” withdrew from overseas screenings, they had given up producing feature films. The director said the Hong Kong Journalists Association was still persevering under difficult circumstances, and offered blessings to everyone preserving their will amid adversity.
第一屆影意志獨立短片獎周三（2日）晚公佈賽果，由Cheng CC執導、紀錄前記協主席陳朗昇的《星星之火・不可燎原》奪得銀獎，邵知恩執導、以社運出獄人士為題材的《My Pen Is Blue,》則奪得金獎。評審之一的導演林森形容，前者是一部難得的紀錄片，不只見到現實沉重和無奈，亦見到不願放棄的生命力。
影意志藝術總監崔允信為《星星之火・不可燎原》導演讀出得獎感言。導演指自己在幾年間拍攝了很多香港記者的起跌和堅持，但在陳朗昇收到警告、《星星之火・不可燎原》退出海外放映後，已放棄了製作長片；不過，導演指記協仍然艱難地堅持著，並祝福所有在逆境中保存意志的人。

莊梅岩回應文體旅局嚴防「軟對抗」：冤枉幾多無辜的人和作品
Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism Rosanna Law Shuk-pui said recently that “soft resistance” had always existed and that the bureau would strictly scrutinise funding approvals, venue performances, exhibition content and library collections, among other areas. Local prominent playwright Cheung Mui-ngam responded in a social media post yesterday, questioning whether Law’s call to “stay vigilant against soft resistance” would bring a bloodbath to Hong Kong’s artists and works. She criticised the bureau for putting the cultural and arts sector “under a microscope”, with staff at every level treating any clues and complaints as “soft resistance”, thereby “wronging how many innocent people and works and causing how much harm and resentment”.
The Hong Kong National Security Law will reach its fifth anniversary next week. In interviews with several newspapers last week, Law said “soft resistance” had always existed and could take many forms, including performance content, song lyrics, storylines and library collections. She also stated that the authorities would handle funding approvals, venue performances, exhibition content and library collections more rigorously to ensure that public funds were used appropriately and that the measures complied with national security and cultural policy objectives.
文化體育及旅遊局局長羅淑佩日前表示「軟對抗」一直存在，局方會在資助審批、場地表演、展覽內容及圖書館藏等多方面嚴格把關。本地著名編劇莊梅岩昨日在社交媒體發文回應，質疑羅淑佩一句「警惕軟對抗」，會為香港的藝術家和作品帶來殺戮，批評局方將藝文界「放在顯微鏡下看」，每一層人員都將任何蛛絲馬跡及投訴納入「軟對抗」，將「冤枉幾多無辜的人和作品、造成幾多傷害和怨恨」。
《香港國安法》下周實施5周年，羅淑佩上星期接受多份報章訪問，指「軟對抗」一直存在，並可能以多種形式出現，即表演內容、歌曲歌詞、故事情節及圖書館藏等。她更表明，當局會更嚴謹處理資助審批、場地表演、展覽內容及圖書館藏等，確保公帑用得其所，亦符合國家安全和文化政策目標。

赴台後首辦「影意志獨立短片獎」 崔允信：讓更多人看到非主流香港電影
After film distributor Shadow Works, which had released several documentaries about social movements, announced its dissolution last year, its artistic director Vincent Chui moved to Taiwan, re-established a platform under the same name and held the inaugural “Independent Short Film Awards”. Eleven shortlisted films were screened on tour in the US, Canada, Taiwan and the UK. In an interview with InMedia, Vincent Chui admitted that when non-mainstream Hong Kong independent films are screened overseas, audience interest is consistently lower than for screenings in Hong Kong, but still hoped the event could continue: “To let everyone know that there are still people in Hong Kong making this kind of work, and in future help them get seen by more people.” Chui also noted that ideals were one thing, but in reality there might not be sufficient resources to do so: “Unless someone is genuinely very willing to help.”
曾發行多部社運題材紀錄片的電影發行商「影意志」去年宣布解散後，藝術總監崔允信移居台灣，重組同名平台並舉辦首屆「獨立短片獎」，在美、加、台、英巡迴放映11套入圍作品。崔允信接受《獨媒》訪問時坦言，在外地放映非主流的香港獨立電影時，關注人數始終不及在香港放映，仍希望能持續舉辦：「俾大家知道香港仲有人拍呢啲嘢，將來幫到佢哋俾多人睇到。」但崔亦提到理想歸理想，現實上未必有足夠資源做到：「除非真係有人好願意幫忙。」
