DESCRIPTION:\n	With Patrick Lung Kong and Tsui Hark in person&nbsp\; \n\n\n
 	Patrick Lung Kong will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from director
  Tsui Hark on opening night. The directors will participate in a conversat
 ion with Grady Hendrix of the New York Asian Film Festival/Subway Cinema\,
  and Sam Ho\, film historian and former programmer of Hong Kong Film Archi
 ve.&nbsp\; \n	\n	\n	Dir. Patrick Lung Kong. 1967\, 119 mins. Digibeta. Wit
 h Patrick Tse\, Patrick Lung Kong. Patrick Lung Kong’s breakthrough action
 -melodrama is the first Hong Kong film shot on-location in the slums\, pro
 foundly reinvigorating the genre\, and reimagined decades later by its adm
 irers John Woo and Tsui Hark as A Better Tomorrow (1986). Patrick Tse (in 
 a star-making performance) plays Lee Cheuk—a prisoner released after fifte
 en years of incarceration to find his family estranged and his ex-fiancée 
 the mistress of powerful triad boss\, One-Eyed Jack (Sheh Kien from Enter 
 the Dragon). In the rapidly-modernizing streets of Hong Kong\, Cheuk tries
  to stay straight as he faces harassment from the violent triads and the h
 ardened police. A vital film in the revival of post-war Cantonese-language
  cinema\, The Story of a Discharged Prisoner has been celebrated by Time O
 ut Hong Kong as one of the 100 greatest Hong Kong films of all-time. '[Bot
 h] a damning critique [and] a call for hope... [It] is filmmaking at its s
 harpest and most masterful' (South China Morning Post). \n	\n	\n	Tickets:
