Supervisor de escuela de Hong Kong acusa a directora de documental de difamación tras la cancelación de una proyección en Italia

En el último giro de la controversia sobre la proyección prevista de To My Nineteen-Year-Old Self en el Far East Film Festival de Italia, el supervisor de la escuela Ying Wa Girls' School, el reverendo Eric So Shing-yit, ha acusado a la directora Mabel Cheung Yuen-ting y a la distribuidora Golden Scene de difamar la integridad de la directora Tiffany Chuk. So escribió a los estudiantes el lunes para aclarar los hechos después de que Golden Scene anunciara la cancelación de la proyección.

La disputa se intensificó después de que el galardonado documental —retirado de los cines de Hong Kong en 2023 por problemas de consentimiento de los entrevistados y recientemente anunciado para el Far East Film Festival en Údine, Italia (del 24 de abril al 2 de mayo), a pesar de la oposición de al menos una de las personas filmadas, Ah Ling— fuera programado en una categoría 'fuera de concurso'. En una carta a los estudiantes, So defendió a Chuk, declarando que el consejo escolar tiene 'absoluta confianza' en su liderazgo. Detalló una reunión del 26 de febrero en la que Chuk supuestamente le dijo claramente a Cheung y a un representante de Golden Scene que 'la escuela no estaba de acuerdo ni apoyaba ninguna forma de proyección hasta que la escuela hubiera obtenido el consentimiento de todos los participantes principales'. So acusó a Cheung y a Golden Scene de emitir declaraciones 'inconsistentes con los hechos' y de 'mentir descaradamente' sobre la directora, acusaciones que la colocaron en una 'posición injusta'. Esto sigue al anuncio de Golden Scene de cancelar la proyección.
