(2006, 94 min., Cantonese with English subtitles, directed by Lawrence Lau) Lau Ching-wan stars as a bitter, washed-up actor who begrudgingly takes an aspiring ingenue (Huo Si-yan) under his wing. Her growing success inspires in him a mixture of jealousy, affection, and a desire to return to the silver screen. Watch for cameo appearances by some of Hong Kong's well-known actors and directors.
Free, but tickets (2 per person) distributed 1 hour before
Festival continues July 25 & 27 and in August
