Thank you to the Federation of Hong Kong Filmmakers for generously sponsoring the charity screening and sharing session of "The Remnant" on 27 September, inviting 150 service users from SideBySide to participate. We were honored to have Ms. Debbie Lam, Vice President of the Federation of Hong Kong Filmmakers, and committee member Mr. Wave Cheung as our guests. During the post-screening sharing session, Director Mr. Andrew Kwan personally shared his creative vision and casting thoughts, discussing how the film portrays the challenges faced by marginalised groups. The main actor, Mr. Philip Keung, also shared insights on interpreting and embodying his character.
Ms. Anthea Lee, Chief Executive of SideBySide, stated that "The characters in the film are closely related to our service users. We are dedicated to assisting individuals from diverse backgrounds in transforming their lives, enabling them to support other communities in need. SideBySide's services not only rewrite destinies but also create tangible value for society."
The film profoundly depicts the challenges and obstacles faced by rehabilitated individuals in their reintegration into society. We hope that through this film, the public can gain a deeper understanding of the issues, providing solid support for rehabilitated individuals or others who are marginalised or overlooked by society as they return to social life.
Thank you to all the guests for participating, as we collectively harness the power of the big screen to promote “Everyone deserves to belong.”
