According to the Hong Kong Ming Daily, the Hong Kong Film Association issued a letter to about 180 companies on Tuesday, entitled to be careful to handle the Golden Horse Awards participation.
The letter pointed out that the recent geopolitical politics has become increasingly tense, which has seriously affected cultural exchanges between the four sides of the strait and four places, making the film awards ceremony "inevitably covered with shadows."The letter criticized that in recent years, the Golden Horse Awards have become increasingly politically. Many Taiwanese directors or artists have repeatedly put forward remarks that do not match film art.inside".

Huo Qigang, a member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong Sports, Performing Arts, Culture and Publishing, said that in order to allow the film industry to develop healthy, film art and politics should not be confused.The Hong Kong Cultural and Sports and Tourism Bureau replied that I did not know that the Hong Kong Film Association issued a letter from members beforehand, and emphasized that the government has always cooperated with the Film Development Bureau to cooperate with the industry to promote the development of Hong Kong's film industry.
Hong Zuxing, the chairman of the Film Association, said that the association issued a letter "just reminds them not to call them (members) not to go." As cross -strait relations are becoming increasingly tense, a lot of trouble will cause problems.
He said that there are many political elements in the Golden Horse Awards in the past two years, which has caused participants to be embarrassed.He said that movies of members of the Film Association account for about 90%of Hong Kong films and co -production films, so they need to take care of the interests of members; while cross -strait relations are currently tight, the association has the responsibility to send letters to remind members, not for political purposes.

The spokesman of the Hong Kong filmmaker always said that according to his understanding, the Film Association has issued a "warm reminder" to members on the Golden Horse Award for at least two or three years.He has long been "cautious", so he said he was unclear why the Film Association was so nervous this time.He said that even if the film participated in the exhibition, the actors and the staff had concerns about whether they attended the Golden Horse Award, but the actor was not guilty.
He also said that the impact of the Golden Horse Awards on Hong Kong films is not great, but if this thinking is infinitely extended, it may hinder the cooperation between Hong Kong and Taiwan investors and directors.
In the Golden Horse Awards in 2021, the Revolution of the Times of the Hong Kong Anti -Repair Romance in 2019 won the Golden Horse Award for Best Documentary Award.
