The Hong Kong film 'Goodbye UFO' emerged as the big winner at the 44th Hong Kong Film Awards last night, securing five major awards including Best Film, Best Director, and Best Screenplay. After being completed seven years ago, the film finally hit theaters recently, with its reputation and awards being widely recognized. Director Leung Pak-kin is scheduled to visit Taiwan on the 25th for a post-screening sharing session.
'Goodbye UFO' had faced contract disputes that kept the film 'in the dark' for seven years. However, since its release, it has received critical acclaim and award recognition. Last night, it swept the categories for Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Original Film Song at the 44th HKFA. Michelle Wai, who won Best Actress for 'The Last Dance' last year, secured the Best Supporting Actress award this year for her role in 'Goodbye UFO.'
Michelle Wai noted that the UFO in this film represents hope. 'In the past, neighborhood relations were very warm; everyone played in the corridors. The scene where the whole family watches the "Alien Autopsy" clip is her favorite; it evokes nostalgia and reminds people of that era, stirring deep emotions.' She hopes audiences can find hope after watching the film.
'Goodbye UFO' will officially open in Taiwan on the 24th. The film company stated today that director Leung Pak-kin will attend a post-screening activity at Eslite Art House on the afternoon of the 25th to share the creative process with the audience.
