Karena Lam "Snoops" Hong Kong Film Awards
Channel NewsAsia - Tuesday, January 6
Movie "Claustrophobia", starring Ekin Cheng and Karena Lam, found itself qualifying for the preliminary voting in the coming Hong Kong Film Awards (HKFA) even before the movie's official launch. According to reports, the movie has made five screenings in November last year; therefore meeting the entry criteria. Female lead, Lam, now stands a chance for the "Best Actress" award against acclaimed China actress Zhou Xun. The latter is made eligible with her work in "Painted Skin" and "All about Women" screened in 2008.
The annual HKFA will be held in April this year. Qualifying works, including Hong Kong and regional Asian films in 2008 have been announced. Preliminary selection will commence soon.
Directed by former winner of "Best Screenplay" in HKFA, Ivy Ho, "Claustrophobia" is set for official release on Feb 12 in Hong Kong. Film distributor explains that the film has had five screenings back in Nov 2008 in AMC cinemas, hence qualifying for entry.
According to the HKFA general rules, criteria includes: having a film no less than 60 minutes; being commercially released in Hong Kong; screenings must fall between calendar year of assessment; and have at least five screenings in a single week.
Besides Zhou, Lam might also find herself running against Prudence Liew and Monica Mok for the award.
