Career


After his graduation, Kiwi Chow has participated in different process of film production including as continuity supervisor, editor and assistant director. Since 2005, he worked as a guest lecturer at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. In 2013, his first feature-length film "A Complicated Story" had its world premiere at the Hong Kong International Film Festival.[3] His most successful and famous film "Ten Years" won the Best Film Award at the 35th Hong Kong Film Awards.[4][5] He released his third feature-length film "Beyond the Dream" in 2020 and is one of the top ten films with the highest box office in Hong Kong that year.[6]

In 2021, Chow's new film Revolution of Our Times, a documentary about 2019–2020 Hong Kong protest, was invited to be shown in the "Special Screening" section of the 2021 Cannes Film Festival.[7][8][9] This film also won the Golden Horse Award for Best Documentary in 2021.[10][11] However, the film is likely to be banned in HK as the new film censorship law was passed in October 2021, which give the chief secretary the power to revoke a film's licence if it is found to "endorse, support, glorify, encourage and incite activities that might endanger national security".[12][13][14]
