race with 12 nominations including best narrative feature and best adapted screenplay, organizers announced on Tuesday.
Since 2019, Beijing has operated a mainland Chinese boycott of the awards that for many years were seen as the highest accoladed for Chinese-language filmmaking. And in 2019 and 2020 most Hong Kong films and filmmakers also stayed away. This year’s list sees an uptick in the Hong Kong participation, but only in the cases of films that are unlikely ever to receive a release in mainland China.
“The Falls” filmmaker Chung Mong-hong was also nominated for best director for his dramatic piece revolving around a mother-daughter relationship that is set against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic. Also competing for best director are Cheng Wei-hao for “The Soul,” Clara Law for “Drifting Petals” and Ho Wi-ding for “Terrorizers.”
Chang Chen, who lost 12 kg and shaved his head to play the role of a cancer patient in “The Soul,” was nominated for best actor. Also nominated are Kai Ko, who plays a hustler in Taiwanese-Austrian production “Moneyboys,” Roy Chiu for “Man in Love” and Cheng Jen-shuo in “Gatao — The Last Stray.”” by Kiwi Chow and Hongkongers, which had a surprise screening at Cannes Film Festival, was nominated for best documentary feature.
