Speaker: Yang Pingdao Guest: Robert Loh In Cantonese Screening film excerpts E Huang Mountain (2013) My Dear Friend (2018) A Yang Pingdao Film (2020) A Romantic Fragment (2023) Work in Progress (WIP) Message from Yang Pingdao Lingnan has a humid and hot climate, so the people there have a higher sense of personal boundaries than northerners. They hold back their words even though they are anxious. But the weather and silent mountains in Lingnan films can express the characters’ thoughts instead. When I choose shooting locations, I have a sense to experience the sorrows and joys of human beings through the nature. Films become more moving if they only show 30% of what can be expressed, because they admit the dilemma of the soul. Such films embrace a wider world.
