Hollywood & Hong Kong"Ang Lee @ HKU"

29 Sep 2009

 

Director Ang Lee will talk about his film career and share his views on the film industry at The University of Hong Kong (HKU). Professor Daniel K L Chua, Head of the School of Humanities, will be the moderator for the talk.

In the talk, Professor Chua will explore the director's classic focus of interest in his films on family drama, generational and cultural distance and father-son, father-daughter tensions; and his choice of an education in filming.

Mr Lee's last visiting the University was to film the story of Lust Caution, which expanded a short story by former HKU student Eileen Chang. His latest film Taking Woodstock will soon be released in the territory.
