Audiences in Hong Kong and around the world are increasingly familiar with, and appreciative of, the works of South Korean film director, Park Chan-wook. He’s not only a director but also a screenwriter, producer, and former film critic. Last November, M+ organised a film programme that included a series of his feature films and four shorts. Park visited Hong Kong in early December to conduct a masterclass”. Producer Natalie Chui went to talk to him.

If you’re a film buff, it’s quite likely you’ll recognise some of the cheongsam or qipaos behind me. This one was worn by Maggie Cheung in Stanley Kwan’s 1992 film, “Centre Stage”. In fact, all of the costumes here have been worn by renowned actresses in iconic films. The exhibition, "Cinderella and Her Qipao" features 31 qipao costumes that appeared in films from the 1950s to the 1990s.

Formally trained at the Central Conservatory of Music in the Mainland, guzheng player and curator Wan Xing’s also has master’s degrees from the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts and the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Her diverse repertoire includes traditional music, fusion, electronica, and original compositions. Apart from performing, she has worked with the Hong Kong Museum of Art to compose music for exhibitions. She’s giving a recital at the Hong Kong City Hall at the end of the month, and she’s with us right now.
