Ying e Chi

Ying e Chi (Chinese: 影意志) is a non-profit organization formed in 1997 by a group of independent filmmakers in Hong Kong.[1][2] Ying e Chi Limited is incorporated on 7 May 1999.[3] Independent film makers of Ying e Chi include Vincent Chui,[4] Kwok Wai-lun, Simon Chung,[4] Charlie Lam and Lawrence Wong.[citation needed] Ying e Chi co-founded the Hong Kong Asian Film Festival (Chinese: 香港亞洲電影節). Later, they parted ways with HKAFF Society Limited, and self-organized Hong Kong Independent Film Festival since 2008.[5][1]
During the years, several independent films are distributed by Ying e Chi, including Yellowing (2016), Lost in the Fumes (2017), Last Exit to Kai Tak (2018), Taking Back the Legislature (2020), Inside the Red Brick Wall (2020).[6] These films are politically sensitive and mostly about the Hong Kong protests, and other cinema would not air them.[4] Because of its stance in the political landscape of Hong Kong, Ying e Chi is often attacked by pro-Beijing media, namely Wen Wei Po[7] and Ta Kung Pao.[8] This is especially true during the anti-extradition bill movement.
Ying e Chi lost funding from Hong Kong Arts Development Council (Hong Kong Government) in 2021, and also unable to renewed its contract with Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre for its studio.[9] Ying e Chi later officially disbanded in 2024.[10] One of its original founders, Vincent Chui, appears to be restarting the organization in Taiwan by organizing HK Indie Short Film Award 2025 under the name of Ying e Chi.[9]
