Poet and author Xi Xi is one of Hong Kong's most treasured writers. Though also acclaimed in Taiwan and mainland China for seminal works like the essay Shops, her writings are firmly rooted in the spirit of Hong Kong. Leave it to Fruit Chan, another staunchly grassroots auteur, to make a documentary on Xi Xi's career. Chan sought out renowned critics and writers to discuss Xi Xi's works, starting with 1979's My City. He also juxtaposes photos of a changing Hong Kong with readings of her writings, and even playfully inserts characters from her stories into the film.

The Inspired Island (Series)

The film project "They Write on the Island" attempts to use documentary images as the medium, and the director's film style and language as the guide, to introduce important Chinese writers to the next generation while recording important records of literary masters in the form of film texts readers. Our focus is not limited to preservation, but also to show how writers and their works convey moving power during the historical process of handing over generations, and become literary and cultural assets of generations.
