The "Light and Shadow Wave Hong Kong Film New Power" photo exhibition was launched by the creative Hong Kong director Zeng Zhaoxue and three photographers Wang Weilun, Zeng Mi and Li Shihui.
Hong Kong International Film Festival Association Executive Director Li Zhibo and Hong Kong International Film Festival Association Program Director Wang Zhihui attended the opening ceremony.
Zeng Zhaoxue said in his speech that the photography exhibition showcased nearly 200 Hong Kong film stills shot by four well-known Hong Kong still photographers in the past 25 years, and presented the unique charm of Hong Kong films with another light and shadow art.
Their works document the glory days of Hong Kong cinema.
In addition, "Light and Shadow Wave Hong Kong Film New Power" will also launch a touring film festival in other international cities, showing a series of excellent works by new Hong Kong directors and classic films that have been well-received.
In his speech, Wang Zhihui said that the photography exhibition consists of four parts, which will showcase the unique ingenuity of Hong Kong films from the aspects of image re-creation, behind-the-scenes production, star and shadow charm, and unsung heroes.
While exhibiting the wonderful shooting moments of Hong Kong classic movies, it also recorded the development and progress of Hong Kong's film industry since its return to the motherland 25 years ago.
When talking about his photography experience, Zeng Mi said: "It is very difficult to capture a representative picture in a movie. Many times I am very shocked to see the hard work of the actors on the film set. I am very happy to be able to do so. Use the camera to record these moments.”
