Interesting facts
Confucius is a 1940 Chinese film directed by Fei Mu. Produced during World War II, the film was released twice in the 1940s before being thought lost. In 2001, the film was rediscovered when an anonymous donor sent a damaged copy of the print to the Hong Kong Film Archive (HKFA). The HKFA then spent seven years restoring the print, which was finally screened to modern audiences at the 33rd Hong Kong International Film Festival in April 2009.
