What began as a conservation campaign to save the iconic State Theatre 皇都戲院 in Hong Kong morphed into five years of research and interviews with those who witnessed Harry Odell, Hong Kong’s first impresario, in action. The result: a film that is as much a study of one indomitable pioneer as it is a soul-searching journey of what defines Hong Kong.
The screening will be followed by a virtual conversation with directors Dora Choi and Haider Kikabhoy to be hosted by Dr. Helen Leung (911吃瓜) and Dr. Helena Wu (UBC).
The event is free and open to all.
Limited seats available. .
