Young people in post-Occupy Hong Kong want to have fun while supporting a meaningful cause, according to organisers of the screening of a secret X-rated film in Sai Kung this week that will call for changes in sex education.
The idea of consumption for a cause is behind the fundraising event - a pre-screening party that will end with a viewing of the unnamed English-language show that promises to be "fun" and "erotic", but not pornographic.
Ticket buyers will not know what they are in for until they turn up at the six-decade-old Clear Water Bay Film Studio on Friday, organiser Goooood Secrets says.
It believes the event will be a draw in itself, and more so when the charity factor is added.
Ticket prices range from HK$150 to HK$250, with the higher prices including refreshment and transport to the venue.
"We are not charging people more, because part of it will go to charity," Michel Hui Mung-yee, who was responsible for the event's promotion, said.
"It's a fun experience that we want to create, and that alone should already make you want to attend," Hui, 26, said.
"It's just that if you watched a movie with us, for the same price, some money that would have gone to the landlords or big businesses would go to charity instead."
The charity to benefit from Friday's screening is Sticky Rice Love, an NGO set up by university students and recent graduates who are out to create a more youth-centric sex education curriculum beyond lessons on the human reproductive system.
The party is a platform for the film-goers to meet the founders of Sticky Rice Love.
More than that, home-grown businesses, including a brewery and a guidance-oriented sex toy shop, will also be promoted - staying true to Goooood Se- crets' ethos to patronise independent shops whenever possible.
Since October, the for-profit start-up has screened secret movies at unconventional locations, such as an old Shanghai-style barber shop and a historic hospital that once housed leprosy patients.
At the venue, up to 200 film-goers will be seated on wooden chairs once typical of Cantonese opera bamboo theatre.
Consumption for a cause was a possible way of attracting more money into government-approved donation drives, which had stagnated at about HK$8 billion a year for the past few years, Hui's colleague Crystal Wong Ka-ying, 24, said.
They intended to deduct the cost of the event from their revenue, then give half of the resulting sum to the beneficiary, she said.
Hui added: "So there's no guarantee that Crystal will get her salary."
Both work for separate start-ups sponsored by the same individual investor who prefers to stay behind the scenes.
Goooood Secrets hopes to make the secret-film screening a monthly event, with a different theme and beneficiary each time, at "locations that would soon exist no more".
