HONG KONG'S CINEFAN PROGRAM
Hong Kong CineFan Club Still Has Showings for the Month of October
Hong Kong Film Festival's CineFan Club focuses on the films of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger for the months of September and October. Almost like a morbid obsession, their total devotion to the cinema underscores the phenomenal power and mystery of their original, diverse body of work, at once daringly subversive, aesthetically inventive and ravishingly beautiful. Few can rival their cultural legacy and enduring influence in British film history.

The second part of the program focuses on Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet. Danièle Huillet (1936-2006) once recalled that she could clearly remember first meeting Jean-Marie Straub (1933-2022) in Paris in November 1954 because the Algerian War had just broken out. Not long after, as they began work on a script for a film about the life of Bach, their relationship was again marked by the conflict when the couple left France in 1958 so Straub could avoid the draft.

With simple means, they produced films that are diverse, polished and handmade. They collaborated with many of the same crew members for decades and edited their films themselves, creating unexpected, off-kilter rhythms out of blocks of shots.
