HK-PRD EcoCinema Festival is launching a six-month screening project, showing environmentally themed films on the second Friday of each month, at Luohu Social Innovation Space.

    To inspire a fresh start, two films were chosen that may change your views on eco-films — “Fried Glutinous Rice” and “We Might as Well be Strangers.” Directed by Herman Yau and Heiward Mak Hei-yan respectively, the two films are from the “Quattro Hong Kong,” the four films commissioned for the HKIFF’s first Short Film Competition. The organizers hope to introduce local audiences to explore Hong Kong’s urban community-based culture.

    It has been said that today’s Hong Kong is tomorrow’s Shenzhen. With Hong Kong now in the post-consumerism age, people and places can be easily connected via footbridges, metros and our mobile phones and that also brings changes to how we communicate. However, one thing in Hong Kong has remained unchanged: People’s feelings are still strongly connected with food and where they eat, which leads us to the first screening’s topic, “Eat, Drink, Man, Woman, Street — City and Food.”

    At the screening, Asia One Communications Group will release the “Hong Kong Photographers” book and give one copy to a lucky visitor.

    Time: 7-9:45 p.m., April 14
