Hong Kong films have always been adept at drawing inspiration from different mediums in pop culture. This is especially notable in comics, with a large cultural base including people from all walks of life. As an important source of creativity for films, comics and their iconic characters have leapt effortlessly from the panel to big screen. This programme, paying tribute to the special art form, features a series of films adapted from comics during different eras. Post-screening talks and workshops are also held for the audience to gain a better appreciation of these comic-inspired films.
