Keep Rolling

The documentary follows the director Ann Hui. Hui has worked in Hong Kong cinema for forty years. She came out of the New Wave generation. This time the camera stands in front of her. Man Lim-chung took the director’s chair with this film. It shows the way she works at close range. Her rashness and her mess on set reach the screen. She has a playful side at the same time. Ordinary lives sit at the centre of her films. That interest shapes the cinema she makes. The changing city runs behind those films. Colleagues speak in the documentary. Tsui Hark, Yonfan and Fruit Chan talk about her. The account does not skip the rough stretches of the career. Ann Hui and Shi Nansun appear in the one hundred eleven minute documentary. It is a Hong Kong production Man Lim-Chung finished in 2020.
