Hong Kong cinema stalwart Derek Yee spoke about taking responsibility for nurturing younger generations of filmmakers at Shanghai International Film Festival‘s forum on Hong Kong’s “Director’s Succession Scheme.” The panel was joined by filmmakers from younger generations, including Stephen Fung, T. Keane Wong, Wong Hoi, Norris Wong and Nick Cheuk.

“Afterpiece,” the opening film of SIFF, was directed by T. Keane Wong and produced by Yee. Wong, who started his career as Yee’s script supervisor on “I Am Somebody” at the age of 19, has consistently followed in Yee’s footsteps.
