Featuring films from around the world will be screened at various cinemas.

In addition, the HKU exclusive screening and discussion of ‘The Miseducation of Cameron Post’ will be held on Jun 18. The movie depicts the story of a teenage girl who is coerced by her guardians to attend a gay conversion therapy center. Despite facing intolerance and denial, the girl finds solace in a group of fellow "sinners” and they come together and strive for survival.

電影資料About the film:

少女金梅倫(嘉兒莫蕊茲飾)在別人眼中是個完美的高中生，但當她在學校舞會中被發現與另一女生在車上親熱後，就被送往性向轉換治療中心進行性取向改造。金梅倫被迫接受離奇古怪的教育，還有「拗直」療法和福音搖滾樂的薰陶，但滿腦同性春夢的金梅倫不但沒有受影響，反而結識了一班同志好友，並慢慢尋找到自己的位置和方向，向荒誕的治療說不！

Pennsylvania, 1993. After getting caught with another girl, teenager Cameron Post is sent to a conversion therapy center run by the strict Dr. Lydia Marsh and her brother, Reverend Rick, whose treatment consists in repenting for feeling "same sex attraction." Cameron befriends fellow sinners Jane and Adam, thus creating a new family to deal with the surrounding intolerance.

	Evina Dai (BA Year 2) Meet Evina, the latest host of Filmtastic. She is eager to share with all of you her passion for movies and discuss her favourite films. She respects and appreciates the art of cinema, but also believes in watching movies just to have a good time. She has watched Top Gun: Maverick six times and can talk to you about Tom Cruise for hours. Come join the session, should you choose to accept it...
	Ella Wong (BA Year 2) Meet Ella, a year 2 BA student majoring in comparative literature. She is excited to watch and talk about films - all kinds of them! You can spot her at the cinema all the time because that is favourite place in the world. From b-movies to auteur films, Ella likes to obsess about the films she has watched and get (slightly) frustrated by the list of movies she has yet to see (in a never-ending watchlist that she would probably never complete). For her, cinema feels like a warm hug from which you do not want to let go. It is her happy and safe place. Come watch the movie together - something new might come out of it.

With an infectious enthusiasm and an encyclopedic knowledge of movie trivia, En Yu weaves her love for films into every aspect of her life. From dissecting storytelling techniques to exploring on-screen chemistry, she approaches each discussion with insatiable curiosity and thought-provoking insights. Get ready to embark on an unforgettable cinematic journey with En Yu at the helm, as she sparks vibrant conversations and celebrates the artistry, wonder, and magic that define the world of film.
