ifva+ Nov: No indies left for Hong Kong mainstream cinema? 7 / 11 / 2014 (Fri) | 7:30pm | agnès b. CINEMA, Hong Kong Arts Centre

What does mainstream mean to indies today? What would film critic, mainstream film distributor and producer, as well as independent filmmaker say about that? How can directors negotiate their ways between independent production and commercial interests? Each guest will examine traces from mainstream films for answers.
Moderator: Longtin (Film Critic, Writer and Curator)
