    • Synopsis
    • 7 of Hong Kong’s most renowned directors explore the history of Hong Kong through their unique artistic visions, authenticity and genius.

      “Johnnie To asked six Hong Kong filmmakers (Ringo Lam, Tsui Hark, Yuen Woo-ping, Sammo Hung, Patrick Tam Kar-ming and Ann Hui) to join him in telling a story in which they each share both childhood memories and their visions of Hong Kong. And, of course, by looking back at the past of these filmmakers, we project ourselves into the uncertain future of Hong Kong. So it was now or never to show this sketch film.”
