The 26th ifva Festival commence in Late February
Persevere for the Rarest Flower to Blossom
|
Organised by Hong Kong Arts Centre, the programme line-up of the 26th ifva Festival is officially unveiled. The 26th ifva Festival will commence on 24 February 2021!
This year ifva invites local director Jun Li (director of Tracey), the Silver Award winner of the 24th ifva Awards Open Category as the art director, where he created a series of festival publicity collaterals and trailers. The trailer of ifva Festival is led by Patra Au, the 39th Hong Kong Film Award Best Supporting Actress, and local indie singer-songwriter Wong Hin-yan. Questions on life, art, our community and the world are raised, until Wong’s electronic music interferes that leads Au to dance along. The promotional poster features a number of gingers all in different shapes and postures that lean on each other, while in the middle is a ginger flower that is rare to blossom. The road to create is never a pleasant one, and only if you persevere then the best scenery is ahead to behold. |

To Re-experience the Magic of Moving Image
ifva has always strived to connect creative alumni. This year two online screenings will feature two ifva Asian New Force awardees from Taiwan, John Hsu (director of Detention) and Joe Hsieh (director of Night Bus). Ryan Chan, whose work Old Man and A Dog won the Gold Award of the 25th ifva Open Category, directed and co-produced the film The Poem of Pakistan with experienced members of “All About Us”, the creative media education programme for ethnic minority youths. The short film depicts the struggle and experiences of local ethnic minority youths. Also from the 25th ifva, Chris Cheung (h0nh1m) awarded Special Mention at Media Art Category, will have his first solo exhibition The Epoch of Futurescape, co-organised by ifva and Goethe-Institut Hongkong.

CINEMA 2.0: Counter Visions
Reimagining Relationships between the Eye and the Media
We often say we go to “see" a movie, and ignore other non-visual elements of the cinema. CINEMA 2.0: Counter Visions departs from the visual-driven way of experiencing media artworks, imagining differently the relationships between the eye and the media, features artwork from Cod. Act (Switzerland), Frederik Duerinck (Netherlands), Kyle McDonald and Matt Mets (United States). Exhibition runs from 2 to 14 March at the Hong Kong Art Centre's Pao Galleries. Free admission.
