Turnout: Evans CHAN
Event Records/Media Reports: Of Evans Chan’s directorial debut, long considered an underground classic, The Hollywood Reporter wrote: “To Liv(e) was inspired by actress Liv Ullmann’s 1990 visit to Hong Kong, where she decried the forced deportation of Vietnamese refugees. This, coupled with the Tiananmen Square crackdown the year before, contributes to a dark cloud of apprehension over the British colony… With a painter's eye in capturing the bohemian fringe of the Hong Kong art scene, and the mature voice of a seasoned filmmaker, Chan examines love, family, and the fate of Hong Kong, and the culture clash between East and West with equal depth and assurance.”
