People are obsessed with super hero films. They hope a hero will come to their rescue in times of despair and desperation. Yet heroes are essentially humans. They can be ordinary on occasions. This time, People’s Cinema - Open-air Screening will take place in Tai Ming Lane Square in Tai Po, breaking the boundary between imagination and reality and displaying heroes from all walks of life: a hardworking scaffold builder, a father who sacrifices unconditionally, an old female scavenger who strives for a living and a teenager who possesses super powers. Every one of them is likely to be someone we know in real life who deserves more respect and recognition.

Tai Ming Lane Square in Tai Po as its base of operation for late May – a residential area crowded with shops and restaurants. How will this provide a different film experience? Let us know.

The event is completely free of charge. You are welcome to bring your own cushion.
