《香港本色》—— 香港本土主義 / Black Bauhinia —— Localism in Hong Kong

我們現在正尋求資金製作一部關於香港本土主義的短片，作為全球教育工具，向世界各地的學校或大學傳播。

歡迎您通過《香港本色》雙語互動網站http://blackbauhinia.co.uk/，參與這部短片的製作。

本土主義短片將會由一眾對研究本土主義感興趣的人創作，由支持本土主義的社運領袖進行解說。短片將會採用原創音樂和特效，及包含 8 種語言的字幕。

所有餘下資金都將被用於籌備創作《香港本色》的後續影片。

《香港本色》簡介

《香港本色》是第一部關於香港本土主義和獨立運動的長篇紀錄片，由導演兼聯合製片人馬寶康博士(Dr. Malte Kaeding) 拍攝，對大多本地電影人都對其避之不談政的題材進行了持平及批判性的評估。馬寶康博士對本土主義已研究長達十年，他貼身記錄了兩位年輕的本土主義領袖從選舉成功到被判入獄及流亡的經歷。本電影製作方式令人對抵抗的代價、自我犧牲和家的意義進行深度反思。

在《香港本色》三年的製作過程中，本土主義啓發了 2019 年「反送中」運動，而政府隨之而來的鎮壓則使本紀錄片變成了政府眼中的違法抵抗。《香港本色》捕捉到了年輕一代敢於挑戰專制中國的想法。

We seek funding to create a short film on Hong Kong localism to be disseminated to schools and universities as a global educational tool.

You can participate in creating the short film and become part of the production via our interactive bi-lingual “Black Bauhinia” website http://blackbauhinia.co.uk/

The short film will be narrated by social movement leaders and activists who support localism. The film will feature original music, special effects, and subtitles in eight languages.

All extra funds will be used to prepare for the creation of a follow-up film to Black Bauhinia.

Black Bauhinia is the first feature-length documentary film on Hong Kong localism and the independence movement, which fundamentally transformed Hong Kong’s domestic and international relations.

The debut film by director and co-producer Dr. Malte Kaeding offers a balanced and critical assessment of a subject so complex and sensitive that local filmmakers have shied away from it. Based on Malte’s decade-long research on localism, he follows two young localist leaders’ emotional journey from electoral successes into prison and exile. The collaborative style of filmmaking allows for intimate reflections on the costs of resistance, self-sacrifices, and the meaning of home.

Throughout Black Bauhinia’s three-year production period, localism inspired the 2019 Hong Kong protests, while the ensuing government crackdown rendered the documentary into an outlawed element of resistance.

Black Bauhinia captures the ideas of a young generation that dared to challenge an authoritarian China.
