Terracotta #HK15 Festival Rundown

It’s not long until Terracotta’s Hong Kong 15 festival is underway, celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of Hong Kong being handed back to China. This, of course, makes me feel a little old (Was it really fifteen years ago?).

Below is a list of the films playing, in date order and with the start times. I hope to be attending a few, so expect reviews for TomJupiter and Cinetalk to follow at some point.

The festival is taking place at the Odeon, Covent Garden from 3-14 July. I’m particularly excited to see A Simple Life, as I have been informed by someone I greatly respect that it is one of the best films she saw last year!

Hong Kong 15 festival

A great line-up from Terracotta

Having thoroughly enjoyed the Terracotta Film Festival earlier this year, I’m very excited to get a second helping of quality Asian film with the Hong Kong 15 festival. The full line-up was announced on twitchfilm, and more details are slowly appearing on the official website.

The festival is running July 2 – 14. I’ll see you all there! (Except on the 3rd, when I’ll see you all at the Cinetalk & Genesis Cinema film quiz!)

Terracotta Film Festival 2012

The festival kicks-off today – and it’s where I’ll be living pretty much all this weekend. There’s a great selection of films, and some Q&A’s and other exciting bits and bobs thrown in. You can see the full programme, but my personal highlights are:

Thursday
MY WAY
An EPIC WWII film. I caught an early screening, and a review will follow this post!

Friday
UFO IN HER EYES
FROM UP ON POPPY HILL
HORROR MOVIE MARATHON

Saturday
ARIRANG
THE WOODSMAN AND THE RAIN

Sunday
HIMIZU
Which is a very dark response to the 2011 tsunami. I reviewed the film for CINETALK.
