A film about a missing Hong Kong female was excluded from this year’s Hong Kong International Short Film Festival. Some critics believe it was disqualified because it focused on the mysterious death of a teenager who participated in the 2019 Hong Kong Extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement and thus, hinted at the the true cause of death of other protesters who died at the time.
The month-long Fresh Wave International Short Film Festival, an international short film competition and exhibition organized by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council, opened on June 17, screening an opening feature film, an opening short film, and 38 local and international short films at Hong Kong Cinema.
