A Light Never Goes Out(HKAFF 2022)

Radiant neon signs once served as icons of Hong Kong’s prosperity and vitality. However, such signs have gradually disappeared over the years, along with the craftsmen who spent decades mastering the craft of blowing neon lights. Director Anastasia Tsang revives this long-time tradition in her poignant directorial debut, telling the touching story of a widow (Sylvia Chang) who discovers secrets her late husband Bill (Simon Yam) buried within his neon lights workshop. While reminiscing about Bill, she sets out to fulfill his final wish of recreating a famous demolished neon sign with the help of Bill’s young protégé (Henick Chow).
