The Links and Beyond

ifva has a long tradition of nurturing new creative media talents, and this year's greenlab continues to sow the seeds of creativity and we hope the audience will enjoy its fruits. ifva is collaborating with Gold Typhoon for the first time by bringing together two female award winners—Jessey TSANG and Heiward MAK, who will be working with pop star Justin LO on two short videos that combine images and sound in a novel and innovative way to tell a moving yet genuine love story. Meanwhile, just as the Hong Kong Film Archive is presenting a retrospective of LUNG Kong's works, we have invited three ifva veterans, Vincent CHUI (Three Narrow Gates, Fear of Intimacy, etc.), Rita HUI (Dead Slowly) and SHAM Ka-ki (whose Life Must Go On won the Gold Award in the Youth Category last year), along with renowned visual artist CHOW Chun-fai to create a programme entitled "A Creative Journey With LUNG Kong", which will pay tribute to the prolific auteur. Other greenlab events will be forthcoming in the near future, which will further extend ifva's mission of building up independent spirit and creative community while giving the opportunity for local media talents to shine.
