HAF joins Fox to
bring Chinese projects
to fruition

This year, the Hong
Kong - Asia Film
Financing Forum (HAF)
and Fox International
Productions (Greater China)
Ltd. (Fox) have set up the new
HAF/FOX Chinese Film
Development Award to
encourage the development
of Chinese-language
cinema. 5 finalists
have been invited
to attend the 10th
HAF (19-21 March
2012) at Hong Kong
Convention and
Exhibition Centre to
present their projects
to the Award Panel, comprised of
renowned industry figures
from Taiwan’s Angie
CHAI to China’s
HUANG Jianxin to Hong
Kong’s Manfred WONG.
The winner will
receive a cash award of HK$100,000 and a
Development Contract with
Fox. Other
finalists may also be
offered a First Look
Agreement with Fox.

The finalists include:

 

follows
ex-serviceman Danny who
works in EXP (Executive
Protection) and
conducts operations in
ransom drops and
counter industrial
espionage among other
lucrative, life-threatening
businesses. When pharmaceutical
firm Phoenix has its new cancer
cure stolen, Danny
begins his own investigation, only to be
confronted with his past
traumas and led into one conspiracy after
another…

A “road trip film
that everyone will
easily connect to” as
Wang calls it,

takes us on a heart-warming
journey as Fang and Yuan, a couple
in their 50s, travel
from Mainland China to
Taiwan with their
daughter. All
three have secret
motives – from the
wife’s desire to
reunite with distant
relatives to the
husband’s cravings for a
career boost. Soon
after they part
ways and enjoy
their momentary freedom,
they realize that the
answers to their
questions lie in the love
in the very family
they brought
together.

is a
bittersweet comedy about
the desperate attempt
of Xiaomei, a
middle-aged woman
frustrated with her looks,
to get a plastic
surgery on the eve of
her wedding. When her
travel agent
surprisingly cancels her
“surgery tour” to Korea, she is devastated
and loses memory
of everything that
happened since she
turned 25. With the help of two sympathetic
companions, Dali and
Jinhua, a deluded
Xiaomei kidnaps a
hotshot surgeon visiting
from Korea…

Based on a true story,

is at once a sincere
portrait of the life of
China’s lower
class and an indictment
of the country’s police
system. Grief-stricken
by the murder of his
brother and
infuriated with the police’s
perfunctory investigation,
Dai decides to hunt
down the killer on his own, all the
while gaining the
support of other victims
of police negligence.

is a suspense
crime story that traces detective
Hui Tze-chung’s investigation
into the murder
case of Kan, a single
parent. Kan’s son has
spent his past ten
years in a mental
hospital for being
diagnosed of multiple
personality disorder,
and was released the same
morning of his
father’s death. Just as
Tze-chung suspects the son for feigning
illness and killing
Kan, his own dark past and inner demons
begin to catch up with
him… |
