Screening

On cinema’s 100th anniversary, Stanley KWAN examines gender, sexuality and family issues through Yang ± Yin: Gender in Chinese Cinema. Dividing his reflections into six chapters, he constructs a visual essay with archival footage and extensive interviews of centre figures in contemporary Chinese cinemas. This remarkable film is both a candid autobiography and a piercing investigation on androgynous characters and sexual ambivalence.

在电影艺术诞生百年之际,关锦鹏以纪录片《男生女相:华语电影之性别》审视了性别、性以及家庭问题。他将全片分为六个章节,通过大量的电影档案节选和当代中国电影核心人物的采访来构建了这部论文电影。这部非凡的作品既是他率直的自传,亦是对雌雄莫辨之角色和性别之摇摆不定的深入探究。

Director 导演

Born in 1957, Stanley KWAN graduated from the Hong Kong Baptist College with a degree in mass communications. He once landed a job at Hong Kong’s Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB) before working as production assistant for Ann HUI (A Simple Life) and other Hong Kong directors. His debut feature, Women (1985), starring Chow Yun-fat, was a major box office success. As a key figure in the Hong Kong Second Wave, Kwan constantly explores the power of female protagonists and their romantic struggles with sympathetic eyes, and such directorial credits include Rouge (1987), Full Moon in New York (1989), Center Stage (1992), Red Rose White Rose (1994) and Everlasting Regret (2005). His latest film, First Night Nerves (2018), will have its Canadian Premiere at our festival on August 17.

关锦鹏出生于1957年,毕业于香港浸会学院,获得大众传播学学位。 他曾在香港电视广播公司(TVB)工作,随后担任起许鞍华(《桃姐》)等香港导演的制片助理。 他的首部长片,周润发主演的《女人心》(1985),取得了不俗的票房。 作为香港电影新浪潮第二波的代表,关锦鹏以充满同情的眼光,不断探索女主人公的力量以及她们的情感挣扎。他的作品包括《胭脂扣》(1987)、《人在纽约》(1989)、《阮玲玉》(1992)、《红玫瑰白玫瑰》(1994)和《长恨歌》(2005)。他的最新作品《八个女人一台戏》(2018)的加拿大首映将于今年8月17日在木兰电影节举行。
