Award-winning Hong Kong documentary To My Nineteen-Year-Old Self has been withdrawn by its distributor from an Italian film festival after a dispute among stakeholders worsened.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 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Hong Kong documentary To My Nineteen-Year-Old Self has been withdrawn by its distributor from an Italian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":2,"featured_media":375953,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[196127,196124,156,194720,194719,4431,194718,196129,196125,409,111,43,139,196128,69,196126,22069,196130,196123,194717],"class_list":{"0":"post-375952","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-ah-ling","9":"tag-another-world","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-far-east-film-festival","12":"tag-golden-scene","13":"tag-hong-kong","14":"tag-mabel-cheung-yuen-ting","15":"tag-measure-in-love","16":"tag-ming-pao-weekly","17":"tag-movies","18":"tag-new-zealand","19":"tag-news","20":"tag-newzealand","21":"tag-night-king","22":"tag-nz","23":"tag-sammi-cheng-sau-man","24":"tag-scmp","25":"tag-to-my-year-old-self","26":"tag-udine","27":"tag-ying-wa-girls-school"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375952","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=375952"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375952\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/375953"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=375952"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=375952"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=375952"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
