The Hong Kong Film Archive (HKFA) of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department will present a special programme entitled "Cine Memories of the War of National Resistance" on November 7. "Our Time Will Come" (2017), selected for free screening, provides the audience with insights into historical meanings, telling the stories of ordinary people in Hong Kong during the Japanese occupation.
The film will be screened at HKFA Cinema. Admission is free with tickets which will be distributed at the information counter of the HKFA starting from Wednesday (October 7), on Mondays and from Wednesdays to Sundays from 10am to 8pm. Each person can receive up to two tickets on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.
Based on a true story, Director Ann Hui's "Our Time Will Come" features schoolteacher Zhou Xun, who makes the resistance against the opponents a part of her daily life. Without detailing epic battle scenes, Hui manages this wartime drama with a subdued tone while creating the momentum of a thriller. Some seemingly normal daily activities of ordinary people, such as going to the market, seeing a doctor, dating and attending a wedding banquet actually portray perilous underground acts of intelligence exchanges. The film is in Cantonese with Chinese and English subtitles.
