Now it says that this year’s Firebird Awards and FIPRESCI prize competitions will proceed with online judging. Winners will be announced on Aug. 20. HKIFF44 was due to kick off with the world premiere of two works from Hong Kong and Taiwan, that the festival described as “exceptional”: Man Lim-chung’s “Keep Rolling,” an intimate documentary about Hong Kong filmmaker Ann Hui, the recipient of a this year’s Golden Lion for lifetime achievement at the Venice Film Festival; and Joseph Hsu’s “,” a heartrending family drama featuring an ensemble cast of prominent Taiwanese actresses.
