The Film Studies Department at the University of Southampton proudly presents:
Foresight or Prophecy? Ten Years 10th Anniversary Screening (with Q&A)
"What will Hong Kong look like ten years from now?" In 2015, Ten Years posed this provocative question, sparking a city-wide conversation that resonated far beyond the cinema walls.
A collaborative vision by five visionary directors—Kwok Zune, Wong Fei-pang, Jevons Au, Chow Kwun-wai and Ng Ka-leung—this independent anthology features five shorts: Extras, Season of the Cloud, Dialect, Self-Immolator, and Local Egg. Together, they weave a tapestry of a speculative future, exploring themes of political intrigue, cultural preservation, and the erosion of identity.
Why You Must See It:
A Cinematic Landmark: Winner of "Best Film" at the 35th Hong Kong Film Awards, it remains one of the most influential and discussed films in local history.
A Decade of Reflection: Ten years on, how much of this "speculative fiction" has become our reality? Re-watching Ten Years today offers a profound dialogue between past imagination and present experience.
The Big Screen Experience: Revisit the raw intensity and emotional depth of these stories in the immersive environment of the cinema.
Ten Years is more than a movie; it is an inquiry into our roots and our future. Join us to look back, look forward, and rediscover a masterpiece of Hong Kong cinema.
