A Film Fan in Hong Kong: Part I


The Broadway Cinematheque (BC) is a quiet, unassuming cinema tucked away in Yaumatei, and a boon for film lovers. There's the trendy Kubrick bookstore & café that also houses the BC's members' library of DVDs and film-related books. Inside, past the box office, is a well-stocked shop dedicated to DVDs, film posters and inexpensive chirashi. The BC plays a selection of arthouse stuff interspersed with standard Hollywood fare. In fact we'd arrived at the tail end of a Krzysztof Kieslowski retrospective, commemorating the 10th anniversary of the BC. Whatever screenings were left were pretty much sold out, so Slee and I didn't get to see anything.

Wouldn’t it be fantastic if we had a cinema like that here?
