‘Montages Of A Modern Motherhood’ Director Talks Taboos, Challenging Parenting Perceptions & Hong Kong Film Funding
Starring Hedwig Tam and Lo Chun-yip, 'Montages of a Modern Motherhood' will screen at the Hong Kong International Film Festival (HKIFF) on April 13.
Family drama Montages of a Modern Motherhood is a deeply personal undertaking for writer-director Oliver Chan Siu-kuen, who began developing the feature after freshly becoming a mother herself. “The development for the film took two to three years and the previous versions were much more brutal, like I wrote about the mother going to prison, going through a trial and things like that,” adds Chan. Creating the unnerving, richly-layered sound design for Montages of a Modern Motherhood alongside Taiwanese collaborators Tu Du-Chih (famous for his work on Hou Hsiao-hsien and Wong Kar-wai’s films) and Chiang Yi-chen ( Sima’s Song) also marked one of the most difficult technical challenges for Chan.
