Description

Kiwi Chow | 2021 | Hong Kong | 152 minutes | Cantonese with English subtitles Join San Francisco's showing for the award winning documentary "Revolution Of Our Times" on April 2nd at the Chabot Theatre (2853 Castro Valley Blvd). About the film:“Hong Kong is on the frontlines of a global battle for freedom.” TIME Magazine Over the past fifty years, Hongkongers have fought for freedom and democracy but have yet to succeed. In 2019, the “Extradition Bill” to China opened a Pandora’s box, turning Hong Kong into a battlefield against the Chinese authoritarian rule. The award-winning director of “Ten Years: Self Immolator,” Kiwi Chow, made this documentary to tell the story of the movement, both with a macro view of its historical context and up close and personal on the front lines. 「香港站在全球自由之戰的最前線！」《時代雜誌》 過去五十年，香港人一直為自由與民主奮戰，卻未能成功。2019年，《逃犯條例》的修訂打開了潘朵拉的盒子，令香港一下子變成對抗中國獨裁統治的戰場。《十年：自焚者》導演周冠威，不但宏觀地紀錄了整場抗爭運動，更走進抗爭現場，近距離追訪不同前線人物的故事。 The 2019 movement is always labelled with the characteristics of “decentralized leadership”, “be water” (flexible tactics), “do not split” (unity but in different ways) and “blossoming everywhere” (protest all over the territory). The film covers seven teams of protestors with different stories which are put together as a comprehensive picture of the versatile movement. 這場發生在2019年的抗爭運動，有著不少突破以往群眾運動想像的特色，例如「無大台」、「be water」、「不割蓆」、「遍地開花」等等。紀錄片追訪了七個不同人物或團隊，為這個波瀾壯闊卻又靈活多變的運動，拼湊出一幅全面的圖畫。 Democracy and freedom are now facing an unprecedented crisis over the world. The film “Revolution of Our Times” is not only about the battle of Hongkongers but is about a war between all freedom lovers and dictatorships of our globe. 此刻，全球的民主與自由正面臨前所未有的威脅。《時代革命》並非只是香港人抗爭的紀錄，也同樣是這個時代下，全世界追求民主自由的人，如何抵擋獨裁者的革命故事。 Event Details:Date: April 2nd Saturday 2:00pm Ticket price: $18 Limited seats | No reservations | First come first served All net proceeds go to the production team of "Revolution Of Our Times".
