This afternoon, I had the chance to meet the legendary Hong Kong director and fight choreographer Yuen Wo Ping in Paris during the Paris Cinema International Film Festival. I only had 17 minutes to interview but fortunately other journalists friends (From Eastasia, HKCinemagic, 1Kultetc.) let me crash their interviews to take more photos and shoot some more video.
After that in the evening, Master Yuen presented the screening of one movie that he directed in the 90's, "Iron Monkey" (I shot this presentation as well)... Total: 2h of DV footage. 45min of HD footage. 17min of interview. 100 photos. Not bad.
And after this presentation, Yuen Wo-ping went to the " cocktail in honour of Hong Kong" organised by the festival (in partenership with the city of Paris, the HKETO, the HKFDC, the HKIFFS & TV5MONDE) where others Hong Kong guest were like Kara Hui, Johnnie To, Allen Fong, Li Cheuk-to (HKIFF) & Roger Garcia (HKIFF). Photos coming soon...
