Filmart: Meet Hong Kong’s Latest Superhero - The Excreman

'The Excreman - On the Road' is among the most talked-about productions featured at this year's Hong Kong-Asia Film Financing Forum.

It followed the travails of a lovable little pig as he chased his dream of becoming an athletic champion, and it spawned two sequels, countless toys and an exhibition that continues to travel the world to this day. Director Jiang Xiaoxuan has her first feature film in HAF’s WIP program, and the Inner Mongolian-born and raised filmmaker has trained her cameras — and her story — on a tale that’s close to home. Veteran Japanese arthouse favorite Koji Fukada (winner of the Cannes’ Jury Prize in 2016 for Harmonium) meanwhile has Nagi Notes in HAF’s in-development program, a tale of three women, all single and all at different stages of their lives, who are drawn together to a rural village.
