The new project is titled ’Septette: More Stories Of Hong Kong’.
Hong Kong-based Media Asia is lining up a second omnibus project looking back at the history of Hong Kong, entitled Septette: More Stories Of Hong Kong, with the focus on emerging rather than veteran filmmakers.
Last year, Media Asia’s Septet: The Story Of Hong Kong, which was selected for the Cannes 2020 Label, featured seven short films from directors such as Ann Hui, Johnnie To, Tsui Hark and Patrick Tam. The film, which To produced, also screened as the opening film of Busan International Film Festival and played in the Limelight section of Rotterdam.

“Each of us should focus on making our own movies – it’s impossible for filmmakers to merge the three markets,” said Wanda Media head of development Abe Kwong.
“It’s a conundrum because often the very thing that makes a film successful locally is the thing that prevents it from being international,” said Panitch.
Taiwanese filmmaker Giddens Ko (You Are The Apple Of My Eye) agreed that the priority should be to focus on making a good movie: “We first need to understand what we like ourselves rather than guessing what other markets will like.”
