Hong Kong filmmaker Ray Yeung’s new film, Front Cover, is a story about fitting in and identity | South China Morning Post
Yeung understands what it means to be an outsider, as a gay Chinese man who spent half his life overseas
scmp.com →When Ray Yeung is asked – and it happens often – why he “makes gay films”, the filmmaker and lawyer wants to shoot back with: “why do you make straight films?” But he’ll bite his tongue – his films do the talking. Based in Hong Kong, Yeung’s films have not only drew attention to the marginalisation of both overseas Chinese and the gay community, but also drew explicit parallels between characters coming to terms with their ethnic identities and their sexual ones, and show the ways in which marginalisation can lead to denial and self-loathing.
