You get the tickets. We've got the plan.
From political parties to after parties, there's always something interesting going on in Hong Kong. Here's a taste of what's happening around town this week. Protesting times This summer, amid outcry over issues related to the controversial Article 23, Hong Kong revealed a previously unseen side, as tens of thousands of people took to the streets in a show of discontent and concern.
The Hong Kong Arts Centre is screening July, which documents the unprecedented protests and demonstrations. Made by independent filmmaker Tammy Cheung, it shows individual and crowd reactions to the proposed national security legislation. It captures many of the speeches, songs and chants that took place during the course of the protests.
Cheung also tries to convey the atmosphere of the protests, and to give a sense of what transpired during a remarkable period.
Cheung is no stranger to social documentary. Her other works include Secondary School, Rice Distribution and Moving, all of which focus on local issues and everyday life in Hong Kong.
Put together with the work of eight cinematographers, July focuses on matters that the media, scholars and election candidates have been discussing ever since the protests took place, offering important insight into the quickly evolving contemporary political situation in Hong Kong.
