Kam Fai Leung
Leung studied economics, but his true calling is in film. He started as an apprentice under acclaimed director Chueng Chi-leung Jacob. His short The Captive and the Fugitive (2019) tells the story of a couple who make a film that doesn’t follow conventions. The latest work, Save My Soul (2023) – winner of the Eye Catcher Global 2023 International Pitching Forum Jury Award – depicts the transformation of a mute person due to loneliness.

L'Étranger
Recreating 1940s Algeria in vivid, high contrast black and white cinematography, L'Etranger is erotic, enigmatic and brutal in equal measures, a masterful screen version of Albert Camus's insoluble classic of existential alienation.
