Award-winning Hong Kong documentary To My Nineteen-Year-Old Self has been withdrawn by its distributor from an Italian film festival after a dispute among stakeholders worsened.<\/p>\n
Golden Scene said on Sunday that its documentary would not feature at the Far East Film Festival in Udine, 10 days after the event\u2019s line-up listed the title in its \u201cout of competition\u201d section.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe deeply regret this and reserve all legal rights to protect our company\u2019s reputation and interests,\u201d the company said, citing its decision was due to \u201crecent developments\u201d.<\/p>\n
Co-directed by local filmmaker and Ying Wa Girls\u2019 School alumnus Mabel Cheung Yuen-ting, To My Nineteen-Year-Old Self tracks the lives of six students from the institution for a decade, chronicling their personal journeys amid a turbulent period.<\/p>\n
The film, which was initially part of the school\u2019s fundraising efforts among alumni to rebuild the campus in the Mid-Levels, was released in local cinemas in February 2023.<\/p>\n
The documentary was pulled from cinemas days later after one student featured in the film, Ah Ling, revealed that she did not consent to the public screening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Award-winning Hong Kong documentary To My Nineteen-Year-Old Self has been withdrawn by its distributor from an Italian film…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":722468,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[28],"tags":[299616,299612,171,299618,299610,8464,299613,299619,299614,53,50,299617,299615,15715,299620,299611,67,132,68,299621],"class_list":["post-722467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-ah-ling","tag-another-world","tag-entertainment","tag-far-east-film-festival","tag-golden-scene","tag-hong-kong","tag-mabel-cheung-yuen-ting","tag-measure-in-love","tag-ming-pao-weekly","tag-movies","tag-news","tag-night-king","tag-sammi-cheng-sau-man","tag-scmp","tag-to-my-year-old-self","tag-udine","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us","tag-ying-wa-girls-school"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116391130534809061","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/722467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=722467"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/722467\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/722468"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=722467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=722467"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=722467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
