IP MAN
HAWAII PREMIERE
Destined to become a classic in the martial arts genre, HIFF is proud to present IP
MAN, starring international superstar Donnie Yen. Yen portrays the title role of the
famed Wing Chun master Ip Man, who counted Bruce Lee among his many students.
Set in the 1930’s, Master Ip lives with his wife and son in the city of Fo Shan, where
he is revered by the local populace. However, everything changes with the onset of
World War II. Like many other cities, Fo Shan is invaded by the Japanese military
who seize control of the city. Now amongst the hordes of the oppressed and clinging
to survival, Master Ip discovers that he has become a source of hope and strength for
the Chinese people. With intense combat sequences by action director Sammo Hung,
IP MAN is sure to entertain audiences with its powerful combination of moving drama
and breathtaking action.

OVERHEARD QIE TING FENG YUN
INTERNATIONAL PREMIERE
In OVERHEARD, three police surveillance officers on a corporate crime-busting mission
cross the ethical line, triggering disastrous consequences. Screenwriters-directors Alan Mak
and Felix Chong take the shady concept of eavesdropping, plant it in Hong Kong's wheeling-
and-dealing financial sector and set in motion a tightly-coiled, character-driven, morally
ambiguous parable of crime and punishment. Protagonists Johnny (Sean Lau), Gene (Louis
Koo) and Max (Daniel Wu) are cops, but their jobs at the Surveillance Unit (SU) make them
resemble moles, if not peeping Toms. When Gene and Max pounce on a chance to make a
fast buck, their supervisor Johnny, who weighs personal loyalties over professional duty, is
coaxed into covering their tracks. When the trio taps into a conversation about CEO Willie
Ma's (Michael Wong) order to take out an associate, their values subtly but surely shade
from black-and-white into gray, as they make moral compromises
that snowball into more serious crimes. – Maggie Lee
