When Literature Meets Film : Screening & Talk
The event will be the third chapter of the EU Book Club, a collaboration between Italy, Germany and France, combining literature and film. After the first two talks and screenings organised by our Italian and German counterpart - "Clash of Civilizations over an Elevator in Piazza Vitorio" by Amara Lakhous and "The Collini Case" by Ferdinand von Schirach respectively, AFHK is happy to present "Happening (L'Evénement)" by the lastest laureat of the Nobel Prize in Literature, Annie Ernaux.
"Happening" is one of the writer's masterpieces. In a first-person narrative she revisits her struggle as a young woman 40 years ago to resolve her predicament: pregnancy and abortion. It was adapted into a film by French director Audrey Diwan, which went on to win the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival in 2021.
Two guest speakers, Uncle Salt, from Corrupt the Youth, and Dr Sabrina Yeung (Assistant Professor, Department of Chinese, HSUHK) will discuss with the audience various issues, literary and social, raised in the original novel and also the film adaptation, after the film screening.
