Preserve Yesterday - Back to Lee Theatre VR

Premiered at the first Hong Kong On Screen Film Festival on April 28th, we are honored to have invited Hong Kong film history expert, Po Fung, to participate in the production. Through sound and text, the VR experience of Lee Theatre is a self-guided tour that discusses Hong Kong film history. If you want to listen to stories that mainstream society does not usually talk about and unravel online myths. Buy your tickets today!

Rumor has it that the first film in Hong Kong was related to a roasted duck. What is the real reason for the birth of Hong Kong's film industry? Also, what is a “Tor Dei Wei (local seats)” and what is a "long tou ting zai" (“Dragon head and little boat”)? Buy a ticket now. Travel back to Lee Theatre to listen to the historic stories of Hong Kong film history.

Note: This project will premiere on April 28th and will be a long-term program. You only need to pay for one ticket to have unlimited access to this VR exhibition and listen to monthly content updates~
