HKAPA FTV GRADUATION SCREENING 2026 (PROGRAM 2)

Five shorts from the Academy's graduating class, all set in Hong Kong and all about people trying to steady themselves while the ground shifts. A Kwai Hing couple weigh love against a future that may not fit both. A boy watches his mother start over. An elderly woman reconsiders the distance between her and her daughter. Two extra titles, backed by the Tak Wo Charitable Foundation Microfilm Award, join the bill: one follows a man through an old village as he finds a reason to keep going, the other puts a debt-ridden taxi driver in charge of a child he never planned for. The work is small-scale and observational—more interested in what goes unsaid than in tidy resolutions. The program runs 101 minutes with English and Chinese subtitles. It screens once, on 17 October 2026.
