Swimming instructor and martial arts expert Kafka (Byron Pang) and Chinese-Australian finance hotshot David (Thomas Price) eye each other at a cafe. When they meet again at a temple, David comes on to Kafka. While David is at ease with being out, Kafka has too much baggage — being poor, addicted, sexually indifferent to his girlfriend (Linda So) and emotionally attached to David while recoiling from his sexual overtures due to a traumatic experience. When Linda (Winnie Leung), David’s ex from a previous chaste relationship, comes to visit from Sydney, things get even more complicated.
AMPHETAMINE is the third film from Hong Kong director Scud, following last year’s PERMANENT RESIDENCE and may be his most ambitious project to date. Veteran filmmaker Lawrence Lau also contributes his talents to the film acting as executive director. —Maggie Lee

ECHOES OF THE RAINBOW is Director Alex Law’s (THE SOONG SISTERS) semi-autobiographical look at his childhood during 1960s Hong Kong. With a detailed eye for life of the period and an inspiring story about a resilient family in tough times, this heartwarming nostalgia drama has won the hearts of audiences around the world.
Told through the eyes of sticky-fingered eight-year-old boy Big Ears (Buzz Chung), ECHOES OF THE RAINBOW takes place in a close-knit grassroots community in 1960s Hong Kong. Big Ears’ mother and father (Sandra Ng and Simon Yam, in an award-winning performance) run the neighborhood shoe store, and his older brother Desmond (pop singer and HKFA Best New Artist winner Aarif Lee) is every family’s dream son - an outstanding athlete with grades worthy of Hong Kong’s best school. Their lives aren’t always happy, but the family sticks together through all the rough times, no matter how bad it gets.
