百老滙電影中心奪去了我們一起合辦了四年的HKAFFShare

顶。。。

節照搞, 戲照播, 但我會記得這場風波

唉!!

到今天為止，百老匯電影中心仍未有對我們作出回應，公開的、私人的都沒有。
Simon在" 誰搶去我們的亞洲電影節?"一交中提及到私人公司侵吞用公帑建立文化資產一事，百老匯電影中心實在有必要向公眾交待。
若果大家有看過今年HKAFF的場刊或網業 http://www.hkaff.asia/home.html 便會發現今年的主辦單位除了百老匯電影中心外，還有一個名為"香港亞洲電影節協會"的組織，但內文卻沒有對這個組織作出任何介紹，這個看上去像是取代了影意志位置的團體是巧合還是諷刺地在今年八月八日京運開幕當天才成立的，而當中的董事局成員全都是安樂電影公司職員，而當中更有香港藝術發展局的審批員在內，為甚麼他們會沒有意識到公帑這問題呢，另一疑問就是本來是透過影意志去支持這個活動的贊助商是否清楚知道他們今年是跟一個私人機構合作呢？
香港亞洲電影節協會這個到底是甚麼，有甚麼理念，有甚麼目的，這些本來都是私人機構的內部問題，但牽涉到公帑及贊助，我相信BC百老匯電影中心仍欠我們和公眾一個交待。

为什么不跟香港当地的传媒交待。

感觉这是一个大事情。

在香港无线看关于亚洲电影节的新闻，被采访者站在台前，身后只露“百老汇电影中心”和“香港亞洲電影節協會”两个LOGO。好不刺眼。

To Glorydust,

不是不想跟傳媒交待，只是這件事在香港一般人心目中並不算是一件大事，大眾傳媒不會太關心，但文化界及網上已有關注，Variety也有報導過，http://varietyasiaonline.com/content/view/7186/53/

這個挺好看的啊。

(聽說文章留言曾一度蒸發，不過後來重開。要看就快手了。)

咁之後呢?

這件事不單是關乎電影節的路線問題，而是涉及一個私人公司侵吞用公帤建立的文化資產的問題

同意glorydust,觉得起码对影意志是件大事.Vincent Chui: 如果有理,为何不循司法途径解决?

經已向民政事務局投訴，藝術發展局也承諾會跟進，而南華早報亦在有作出以下報導，
A government-subsidised independent film organisation has complained to the Home Affairs Bureau,
claiming a film festival that it had been co-organising was “stolen” by a private corporation.
Independent film organisation Ying E Chi, funded by the Arts Development
Council (ADC), has accused Broadway Cinematheque of taking over the Hong Kong Asian Film Festival, co-organised by the two groups, without its consent.
The accusation, which Broadway denies, is made in a letter from the group to Secretary for Home Affairs Tsang Tak-sing.
Ying E Chi founding member Vincent Chui Wan-shun said it was unfair because the festival’s reputation was partly built on public resources and some of the sponsors were secured by his group.
Mr Chui said the festival began screening independent films in 1997. A partnership with Broadway Cinematheque, which supplied the venue, was formed in 2003. In 2004,
the festival officially became the Hong Kong Asian Film Festival.
Mr Chui said that part of the government’s funding for Ying E Chi had
been channelled into the festival. But since 2005, he said, the council had
approved separate grants especially for the organisation of the festival.
Last year, HK$182,759 was granted. In 2006, HK$156,962 was granted, and in 2005, HK$91,746.
The festival has continued to expand, and last year it featured Ang Lee’s Lust, Caution as its curtain raiser. The film was distributed by Edko Films, mother company of Broadway Cinematheque.
Mr Chui said that Ying E Chi intended to continue the partnership, but during negotiations, Broadway said the council would ask Ying E Chi something – but did not specify what.
“Then ADC contacted us,” Mr Chui said. “They asked us to clarify our relationship
with Broadway Cinematheque and said they hoped we would shift our focus back to independent films.”
Afterwards, Broadway Cinematheque proposed it be the sole organiser and suggested Ying E Chi should only be in charge of its independent films section, Mr Chui said.
He admitted that Ying E Chi attempted to register the rights to the Hong Kong Asian Film Festival without notifying Broadway Cinematheque for fear that the festival would
be taken over. But it later agreed to register the festival with Broadway.
“But then we did not hear from Broadway Cinematheque anymore,”
Mr Chui said. “It turned out that they registered a company called Hong
Kong Asian Film Festival Society Limited without telling us.
The bureau confirmed it had received the letter and would follow up on the case.
The council said it would arrange a meeting with Ying E Chi.
Broadway Cinematheque said it did not agree with the accusations but declined further comment.
