Student in controversial Hong Kong documentary hits out at planned Italian screening
AI Summary
A student named Ah Ling, featured in the Hong Kong documentary "To My Nineteen-Year-Old Self," is objecting to its planned screening at the Far East Film Festival in Udine, Italy this month. Ah Ling claims she was only notified of the screening by Ying Wa Girls’ School on Friday and that no one consulted her about the film being shown at the festival. She reiterates that she does not consent to the film being screened in any form. The documentary, co-directed by Mabel Cheung Yuen-ting, follows six students over a decade and was initially released in February 2023 as part of a school fundraising campaign. It was withdrawn from cinemas shortly after due to Ah Ling's initial complaint that it was screened without her consent.
