Film
Halfway Down
Director: Evan Yang
HK Film Archive, Cinema, 7pm, $30, Tel: 2734 9009
A rare film that depicts the lives of refugees who fled to Hong Kong after the Communist takeover. Evan Yang, active in the Nationalist circle much of his life, cleverly stays within the bounds of the stringent censorship of political content. The film instead finds compelling drama in the lower depths of the Tiu Keng Leng ghetto, where KMT associates and sympathizers live in squalid conditions, their ideological frustrations expressed in social terms.

Because of Her
Director: Evan Yang
HK Film Archive, Cinema, 12:30pm, $30, Tel: 2734 9009
Every good thing has to end. The glorious Grace Chang came out of retirement to make Because of Her, but it would be the last of her fruitful collaboration with Evan Yang. In her final bow, the eternal Mambo Girl, by then married in real life, essays a divergence of personas, as if offering a summation of her performance repertoire.
Forever Yours
Director: Evan Yang
HK Film Archive, Cinema, 5pm, $30, Tel: 2734 9009
Forever Yours is melodramatic, sentimental, even maudlin, but also one of his deepest felt works. The sunny, energetic Grace Chang and the frail, melancholic Kelly Lai Chen play polar opposites who attract each other, an unlikely pairing that makes a perfect couple destined for an imperfect ending
Confucius
Director: Fei Mu
HK Film Archive, Cinema, 7:30pm, $30, Tel: 27349 009
Confucius had long been considered a lost classic. An extraordinary work that speaks of its time and our past, it was made by the great director Fei Mu during Shanghai's Orphan Island period, when Japanese forces overran much of the city. China's screens were dominated then by crude, maudlin costume dramas and producers Jin Xinmin and Tong Zhenmin boldly invested an exceptional budget on the film, determined to improve the quality of Chinese cinema. Confucius, is remarkably formalistic, its austere mise-en-scene portraying the title character not with sensational heroics but sorrowful dignity.
