Hong Kong Film Festival Organised by Hongkongers in US to Screen ‘Beyond the Dream’ Globally Online, Inspired by Cinema’s Cancellation of Re-release
在美港人辦香港電影節 全球線上放映《幻愛》 稱受戲院取消重映事件啟發
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.
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。
