THE WAY WE DANCE
(Cantonese with English subtitles)
Dir. Adam Wong in attendance. Q&A to follow after the screening.
FREE ADMISSION. Line up starts at 6:30pm.
SYNOPSIS:
Growing up in an ancestral tofu shop, Fleur (Cherry Ngan) is a Hip Hop genius. To chase her Hip Hop dance dreams Fleur joins BombA, the coolest dance troupe on the university campus. Life is good until her signature dance style is mocked by her own crew, leaving Fleur without a creative outlet. Her last resort is to join the much-avoided Tai Chi Club. As Fleur learns to cope with the ever-changing pace of life, she learns how far she is willing to go for her passion.
The Way We Dance took home three awards at the 2014 Hong Kong Film Awards: Best New Director (Adam Wong), Best New Actor (BabyJohn Choi) and Best Original Song.
