Hau-man Kaspar (aka siu-keung) is a local trans-man with genders ‘F’, ‘X’, & ‘M’. In 2010, he
realized he is a transgender person and has been gaining insight into his past
life ever since. He is always interested in “being” – being a person, being a
man, being himself, and how a transgender person or gender comes into “being” in
the society. He loves sharing life stories, so he made a documentary, conducted
researches, and set up an NGO Gender Empowerment to help other transgender
persons go through their transition to become themselves and integrate into the
society. He cares for social inclusion and harmony, and is determined to tell
what gender means with the 3 genders he has acquired.

Remarks shared after Festival

“I am so happy and amazed
to see that Gay / queer films are more than Gay/ queer films now. Apart from
love and tragedy, there are elements of different film genre, such as thriller,
suspense and Zombie. And the themes are not just about the oppression and
suppression they have, but also about race, class and other social minorities.. [More]“I am so happy and amazed
to see that Gay / queer films are more than Gay/ queer films now. Apart from
love and tragedy, there are elements of different film genre, such as thriller,
suspense and Zombie. And the themes are not just about the oppression and
suppression they have, but also about race, class and other social minorities.
In addition, the skills and techniques applied to the films are also quite
mature. I believe it is only possible when lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people are able to live
with the mainstream majority in inclusion and harmony that has helped them to
have a broadened mind beyond their own realities. It is a pleasure to be able
to meet with foreign queer film filmmakers. And I am pleased to have
participated in a film festival that was not just about film screenings, but
which has also gathered many different independent filmmakers. I hope that Hong
Kong can have more different platforms and opportunities such that the veteran
and emerging filmmakers can gather together, exchange ideas and collaborate
with each other, so as to continue the legend of Hong Kong films.”
