The 59th Golden Horse Awards in Taiwan will be held on November 19th. A letter sent to members by the Hong Kong Film Industry Association circulated on the Internet today (13th), mentioning that the Golden Horse Awards will be held soon, and calling on members to handle it with caution. The association pointed out that due to the recent increasing geopolitical tensions, the cultural exchanges between the four places across the Taiwan Strait have been seriously affected, which inevitably cast a shadow over the Golden Horse Awards.
According to the association, the Golden Horse Awards have become increasingly politicized in recent years. “Many Taiwanese directors or artists have repeatedly made remarks that are inconsistent with the art of film, confuse politics with film, and smear the independent artistry of film. The entire event has been dragged into a controversial alley. ”
The letter finally reminds members that if they plan to participate in the Golden Horse Awards, “you must think twice, so as not to bring disaster to Chiyu and get involved in unnecessary disputes, which will lead to more than your gains are not worth your prayers.”
According to the official website of the Hong Kong Film Industry Association, the chairman of the association is Hong Zuxing, the founder of Dillon International Film Company, the vice-chairmen include Tang Qingzhi, Zhang Kangda, Yang Zhenglong and Lan Kaishaling, and the directors include Xiang Huaqiang, Le Yiling, Lin Jianyue and others. .
In an interview with other media this year, Hong Zuxing said that following the return of Hong Kong, he experienced the rise of China’s international status. He also felt that there were many patriotic filmmakers in his time, and the film and television industry had a strong cohesion. Everyone would be very proud of being Chinese.
Looking through the information, the Golden Horse Awards also sent an email to members in 2019, stating that since the State Film Administration suspended mainland films and personnel from participating in the 56th Golden Horse Awards that year, the association therefore called on members to “consider your own interests carefully before deciding whether to participate or not. , so as not to cause unnecessary losses.”
