Same Yet Different 1996

Same Yet Different (1996) is a film from Hong Kong in the lookmovie catalog, running 20m. Directed by Anson Mak. In 1995, Anna Wu introduced a private bill on Equal Opportunities in Hong Kong covering sexual orientation, gender, age, disability, and family responsibilities. Anson Mak, with fellow activists from Queer Sister, organized playful, creative demonstrations as alternatives to traditional protests. Highlighting a pivotal moment in Hong Kong’s queer and feminist movement, this video documents the group’s actions and their discussions on identity, coming out, activism, and media representation.
