Among the most prominent members and one of the “instigators” of Hong Kong New Wave, Ann Hui has been dealing with female issues, social phenomena, political charges, history and the ever changing Hong Kong, in a body of work that covers five decades. Born in China in 1947, Ann Hui moved to Hong Kong when she was still in her youth. After graduating in English and Comparative Literature from Hong Kong University, she spent two years at the London Film School. Returning to Hong Kong, she worked as an assistant to director King Hu before joining Tvb to direct drama series and short documentaries. In 1978, she directed three episodes for the Rthk series Below the Lion Rock (1972). After that, she directed her debut feature “The Secret”. Her path after that was one of continuous success with her winning Best Director at the Golden Horse Awards three times and six times at the Hong Kong Film Awards.
