在李駿碩的電影作品裡，常能看到孤獨與連結、疏離與靠近、溫暖與沉重這些元素同時存在。《濁水漂流》拍無家者，《眾生相》描繪在交友軟體與城市之間移動的同志角色，似乎都關注那些不被看見的人，在城市縫隙裡掙扎的人們。面對這樣的形容時，導演指出其實這樣的看法與自己的感受並不完全一致。

Since its establishment in 1962, the Golden Horse Awards have not only represented the highest honor in Chinese-language cinema but also witnessed countless filmmakers grow from their first attempts to the shaping of distinctive artistic voices. This curated selection highlights six directors nominated this year — Shen Ke-shang and Pan Ke-yin for Best New Director, as well as Lee Chun-shek, Liao Ke-fa, Chong Keat-aun, and Tsao Shih-han for Best Director — revisiting their earlier, defining works. Through this collection, we invite audiences to rediscover how these filmmakers use cinema to respond to the self, society, and their times. By tracing their creative beginnings, we also glimpse the ever-evolving vitality of Chinese-language cinema.
This curated selection features short films highlighted in the "Golden Harvest Awards: The Talk" series. From the debut works of emerging directors to the sophisticated dialogues of mature cinema, we sincerely invite you to revisit the core insights from the talks through these selected films and explore the boundless creative vitality of short-form filmmaking.
Before settling into the stability of adulthood, we are all perplexed students navigating the currents of life. This selection focuses on a group of Hong Kong teenagers who have yet to enter the working world. The life circumstances, social shifts, and even familial relationships they encounter are unprecedented experiences. The journey from attempting to understand, learn, and overcome these challenges, to ultimately accepting their self-determined fate, broadly reflects the collective atmosphere and mindset of Hong Kong as a whole
Everything changes; the only constant is change itself. Young people who encounter life-altering upheavals face life and death, joy and sorrow. At life’s turning points, the choices they make reveal who these protagonists truly are. Within these stories, we may see reflections of ourselves—or find lives far removed from our own. Yet they always help us understand one another, allowing us, over ten to a few dozen minutes, to experience, grow, and comfort each other together. In a world of ever-shifting circumstances, perhaps cinema is a faithful companion that walks alongside us.
