NEXT MEMBERS ONLY SCREENING AT CONSOLIDATED KAHALA THEATRES
WILDCAT
Director: ETHAN HAWKE
Year: 2024
Country: United States
Language: English
Running Time: 108 Minutes
Synopsis: Directed and co-written by four-time Academy Award® nominee Ethan Hawke, WILDCAT invites the audience to weave in and out of celebrated Southern Gothic writer Flannery O’Connor’s mind as she ponders the great questions of her writing: Can scandalous art still serve God? Does suffering precede all greatness? Can illness be a blessing? In 1950, Flannery (Maya Hawke) visits her mother Regina (Laura Linney) in Georgia when she is diagnosed with lupus at twenty-four years old. Struggling with the same disease that took her father’s life when she was a child and desperate to make her mark as a great writer, this crisis pitches her imagination into a feverish exploration of belief. As she dives deeper into her craft, the lines between reality, imagination, and faith begin to blur, allowing Flannery to ultimately come to peace with her situation and heal a strained relationship with her mother.

Director: Mabel Cheung
Year: 1987
Cast: Chow Yun-fat, Cherie Chung, Danny Bak-Keung Chan, Gigi Wong
Directed by HIFF favorite Mabel Cheung (THE SOONG SISTERS, CITY OF GLASS) in 1987, AN AUTUMN’S TALE follows a young woman named Autumn (Cherie Chung) who moves to New York City to pursue her studies. There, she meets a fellow Chinese immigrant and develops a romantic relationship with him (Chow Yun-fat). As their relationship progresses, Autumn is confronted with cultural differences and the challenges of immigrant life in a foreign land. Throughout her journey, she gains insights into the complexities of love and the importance of true friendship.
AN AUTUMN’S TALE is a Hong Kong classic that is also an ode to the magic of New York City, captured as place where people come from all over the world to re-invent themselves. Both Chow Yun-fat and Cherie Chung make such a gorgeous couple, with Chow especially already showcasing his charisma in becoming one of the greatest Hong Kong actors of his generation.
