Tokyo Winner Edmund Yeo Brings Literary Adaptation ‘The Age of Goodbyes’ to Hong Kong


'The Age of Goodbyes,' a Malaysian-Taiwanese co-production by Edmund Yeo, has been selected for this year's Hong Kong — Asia Film Financing Forum.

The drama, adapted from Malaysian author Li Zi Shu’s acclaimed 2012 novel, is produced by David Tang, Edmund Yeo, Dennis Lai and Zhao Jin. “Her vivid descriptions of the people living and surviving in Ipoh during those tumultuous times gave me a strange feeling of homesickness even though I’ve never personally experienced that era before.” Yeo, whose 2017 feature “Aqerat (We, the Dead)” won best director at the Tokyo International Film Festival, explained that the project has personal connections to his family history.
