Curiosità

Bamboo Theatre is a 2019 Hong Kong documentary film directed by Cheuk Cheung. Commissioned by the Xiqu Centre of the West Kowloon Cultural District, the film made its world premiere at the DMZ International Documentary Film Festival in South Korea in 2019. It was nominated for Best Documentary at the 56th Golden Horse Awards and for Best New Director at the 39th Hong Kong Film Awards. It also received the Special Jury Prize at the 2019 Hong Kong Film Directors' Guild Awards and was selected as a Recommended Film of the Year by the 26th Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards.

Production

Director Cheuk Cheung had previously released two films, My Way (2012) tells the story of two young men from Hong Kong who pursue a career as Cantonese opera actors, and My Next Step (2015) focuses on the marginal role of martial artists in Kunqu opera.

The film took two years to complete, during which Cheuk visited nine bamboo theatres—including the highly challenging clifftop theatre on Po Toi Island. Using a quiet, contemplative visual language and long-take observational style, he avoids interviews and narration, opting instead for pure observation to capture the Cantonese ritual opera and its processes.
