The retrospective is highlighted by the Los Angeles Premiere of BREAKING NEWS (2004), which was an official selection of the 2004 Toronto Film Festival. (This screening will take place only at the Egyptian). The series also includes the Los Angeles Premiere of the documentary HONG KONG CINEMA (2004), a look at contemporary Hong Kong cinema directed by Postif journalists Hubert Niogret and Lorenzo Codelli.
