Screening of Yellowing 亂世備忘 (2016)

Some 250 campus and community members showed up on the rainy evening of November 22 at the Frederic Wood Theatre for a screening of Yellowing, a mesmerizing documentary about the 2014 Umbrella Movement of Hong Kong. The screening was followed by a conversation with Director Chan Tze Woon, who joined the audience via skype from Taiwan, where he was attending the Golden Horse Film Festival and Awards, for which his film had been nominated for “Best Documentary.”
The screening was presented by the Hong Kong Studies Initiative, a newly-created hub at UBC that aims to connect Hong Kong-related learning and research activities both on and off campus, and was generously supported by the Department of Asian Studies, the Department of History, the Centre for Chinese Research, the Department of Theatre and Film, the School of Social Work, the Asian Canadian and Asian Migration Studies program, St. John’s College, the Vancouver Hong Kong Forum Society, the Pacific Canada Heritage Centre–Museum of Migration Society, the Vancouver Asian Heritage Month Society/explorASIAN, and the Vancouver Asian Film Festival.
