Martin McDonagh Set For Masterclass, Retrospective At Hong Kong International Film Festival
Hong Kong International Film Festival will screen all of McDonagh's films, including his Oscar-winning short.
Starting his career as a playwright, McDonagh later moved into cinema with short film Six Shooter, which won an Oscar and set the tone for his subsequent works, which are known for dark humour, witty dialogues and escalating absurdity. After moving to Hollywood, McDonagh made crime drama Seven Psychopath s, in which a writer’s block is transformed into grim comedy; and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, which won Frances McDormand a Best Actress Oscar. It recently named Hong Kong filmmaker Fruit Chan as this year’s Filmmaker-in-Focus and will also present the Asian premiere of GIFT, a silent film made as a collaboration between Oscar-winner Hamaguchi Ryusuke and composer Ishibashi Eiko.
