Ah Ming’s Macao (1996)

Overview

Critically- acclaimed as the first Macau people’s movie under the Portuguese Administration, “Ah Ming’s Macao” was a touching semi-autobiographical short film about the director who returned to his place of birth from the USA in 1994 to make his master’s graduation film. Through the process of seeking funding from the government and private organizations for this short film, Ah Ming encountered difficulties in the creative work. Through interviewing different walks of people in Macau, Ah Ming also understood their different expectations toward the return of Macao to China in 1999.
