Inside the Red Brick Wall

[Frau Stockl]

Inside the Red Brick Wall, a feature-length documentary chronicling a 13-day stand-off between anti-government protesters and police at Hong Kong Polytechnic University in November 2019, has been voted the best Hong Kong film of 2020 by a panel of critics, the Hong Kong Film Critics Society announced on Monday. The film, which has been shunned by commercial cinemas in Hong Kong, also won the best editing prize at the prestigious 2020 International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam. Inside the Red Brick Wall has been shrouded in controversy ever since it came to public attention, and its directors remain anonymous.

An award-winning documentary about Hong Kong’s 2019 protests that has been effectively banned in its hometown has been set as the showpiece of the Taiwan International Documentary Festival.

“Inside the Red Brick Wall” will play as the festival’s opening film, organizers announced on Thursday. The festival is set to run April 30 – May 9, 2021.

“Red Brick” was named as the best film by the Hong Kong Film Critics Society in January, but its first commercial screenings in Hong Kong were canceled earlier this month. Pro-Beijing supporters and media suggested that the film may violate the city’s National Security Law, causing exhibitors Golden Scene Cinema and the Hong Kong Arts Centre to halt their plans to screen it.
