Time Still Turns the Pages is a 2023 Hong Kong drama film directed and co-written by Nick Cheuk and produced by Derek Yee, marking Cheuk's directorial debut as part of the First Feature Film Initiative. Starring Siuyea Lo and Ronald Cheng, the film follows a secondary school teacher (Lo) who confronts a childhood trauma caused by academic pressure from his father (Cheng) while helping a suicidal student.

Production

Director and writer Nick Cheuk originally penned the screenplay in 2015, based on the death of a close friend and university classmate. He later made revisions to the script, altering certain aspects of his friend's experiences to explore the social phenomenon of student suicides in Hong Kong. He completed the first draft in 2019, initially titled Suicide Note.

In September 2021, shortly after finishing the screenplay draft, Cheuk approached Siuyea Lo, a mutual friend of his and his deceased friend, and offered him the role of Mr. Cheng. The original setting of Mr. Cheng was actually 40 years old and spoke in a much more mature manner. Lo accepted the role on the spot after reading the script, and Cheuk amended the settings for him.

Principal photography began in 2021 and wrapped up in 19 days. Most of the school scenes were filmed at Chiu Yang Por Yen Primary School, Tin Shui Wai, and the farewell scene between Cheng and Sherry was filmed at an art store in Sham Shui Po.
