  Released to critical acclaim in 1997, the year of the Hong Kong handover, Fruit Chan's Made in Hong Kong was praised as an anarchic masterpiece, a powerful distillation of urban alienation and youthful despair. Moon (Sam Lee) is a small-time triad, stuck in an endless cycle of pointless violence with no hope of escape. After he and his friends witness the suicide of a young girl, they embark on a journey to deliver two letters she had on her when she died. Produced on a shoestring budget, with non-professional actors and using discarded film reels for stock, the film was rescued from obscurity and fully restored in 4K in time for its 20th anniversary in 2017, thanks to the Far East Film Festival, in collaboration with Andy Lau's Hong Kong production company, Focus Film.

  Drawing parallels between his early films and his personal biography this documentary traces Wim Wenders' own history focussing on the director's life prior to his leaving Germany for the USA after his international breakthrough with The American Friend (1976/77). In intimate conversations Wim Wenders talks about his sheltered upbringing in post-war Germany. The film follows him on a journey into the past that takes him to Paris where he lived as a young painter and made his decision to become a filmmaker. He recounts his experiences successes and failures as a film student on the way to becoming a director. He also conveys the attitudes and the euphoric mood among the first intake of students at Munich's newly founded film school. Apart from Wenders himself some of his most important fellow-travellers also have their say including Peter Handke Robby M''ller R''diger Vogler Bruno Ganz and Lisa Kreuzer. As they remember they discuss some of the fundamental recurring themes of Wenders' films such as the search for identity friendship and communication.
