september cinematheque passion 2020

Cinematheque Passion Reopening: “A Love Letter to the Cinema”

Companhia de Produção de Entretenimento e Cultura is Cinematheque Passion’s new management team and they’re creating an event for the reopening of this venue: “A Love Letter to the Cinema”. They’ve selected films from different countries and territories across different eras. Whether classics in film history or masterpieces in their own right, their themes are all related to the cinema. In form or content, they always manage to evoke an indescribable love for the films among film-goers–the director’s fantastical musings across reality and dreams in Otto e Mezzo; the heroine who walks into the big screen to seek her true love in The Purple Rose of Cairo; the memories and nostalgia of growing up with film in Cinema Paradiso; Gene Kelly tap dancing under the lamppost in the rain in Singin’ In the Rain.

All these classic scenes and different narrative styles invite the audience into one film world after another through the mind of every director. Selections for “A Love Letter to the Cinema: Making Films on the Big Screen” include Singin’ in the Rain (Remastered) (1952), Otto e Mezzo (Remastered) (1963), The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985), Cinema Paradiso (Remastered) (1990), Close-up (1990), Center Stage (Remastered) (1992), Goodbye, Dragon Inn (Remastered) (2003), Phantom of Illumination (2017) and Talking the Pictures (2019).

When: September 12–23, 2020

Where: Cinematheque Passion, 13 Travessa da Paixão, Macau

How much: MOP $60 per person

The Heyday – Untitled Poster AFA September 2020.jpg 的副本

Unreturned Wanderer – Works by Leong Chi Mou

Leong Chi Mou’s solo exhibition, “Unreturned Wanderer – Works by Leong Chi Mou”, organized by the Macau Art For All Society is part of the “Urban Identity” New Immigrants Artists Exhibition Series. Using Chi Mou as his pseudonym, the original name of the artist is Leong Chi Hou. He was born in China in 1991 and moved to Macau afterward. In 2015, he obtained a Bachelor’s degree from the School of Arts of Macau Polytechnic Institute, majoring in oil painting.

Leong uses the following methods of work in his creative process: 1. Transplanting contexts of images. 2. Explaining the reasonability of the ambiguous interpretations within a specific statement in a certain context. 3. The appropriateness of misplaced identity. Chi Mou is a person with a story, and the story leads to creation. In this world where nothing is new, the story is as the ancient poet has written, “not supposed to be the same yet ought to be the same from the ancient ones; not supposed to be different yet ought to be different from the ancient ones”.

When: September 5–30, 2020

Where: AFA, 4F Macau Art Garden, 265 Avenida Dr. Rodrigo Rodrigues, Macau

How much: Free admission

Exhibition “Pirates in the Waters of Macao (1854-1935)”

The exhibition “Pirates in the Waters of Macao (1854-1935)”, is held from August, 2020 till January, 2021, presenting the phenomenon of piracy in the surrounding waters of Macau and the multiple meanings it had for the city.  The word “pirate” conjures up the stereotype of adventures, romances, cruelties and barbarities, which is a set of social representations cultivated fundamentally by literature and the film industry. However, with a deeper study, one can see that “piracy” is a particularly complex subject. The exhibition “Pirates in the Waters of Macao (1854-1935)” is a project that aims, on the one hand, to encourage the public and researchers’ interest in the study and investigation of this subject and to give an account of the different dimensions of the phenomenon of piracy as a social practice in a much wider political, economic, social and cultural system; and, on the other hand, to showcase a particularly rich collection of documentation preserved in the Macao Archives.

The exhibition features a selection of over 100 documents, maps and photographs from the Macau Archives’ collection that addresses the theme of piracy in the Pearl River Delta region, thereby revealing the diversity and thematic amplitude of the documentation, as well as developing knowledge about the multiple meanings of the phenomenon of piracy for Macau in the second half of the 19th century to the first decades of the 20th century.

When: August 19, 2020–January 31, 2021

Where: Macao Archives, 91–93 Avenida do Conselheiro Ferreira de Almeida, Macau

How much: Free admission
