ONLINE EVENT

The 94th Academy Awards are announced on March 27 (in Los Angeles), when the cinemas in Hong Kong will have been closed for almost three months. With 34 of this year’s 53 nominated features and shorts are available for online stream or rent in Hong Kong, this should not affect our passion and love for movies.

Asia Society Hong Kong is delighted to present to graphic designer and filmmaker Nicola Fan, filmmakers and educators Jeremy Hung and Matthew Leung, who will be accompanying us through the awards, and sharing about their experiences in the industry too.

Throughout the session, all members will be able to share their video and audio in a fully interactive format. It will be a casual and informal gathering, so feel free to join, leave and re-join the Zoom at any time!

Members Only. Free of charge.
