[CANTONESE EVENT] The Dao of Hong Kong-Style Jiao Festival: Documentary Screening and Ritual Explanations

This screening features a 35-minute edited version of an original two-hour documentary, commissioned and filmed during the 2015 Jiao Festival held once every decade in Kam Tin, a walled village community in Hong Kong’s New Territories. Presented in a documentary style, the film captures this rare event's ceremonial practices and cultural traditions.

During the screening, Master Ko from the Lotus Taoism Culture Association will provide live commentary, offering real-time interpretation of the rituals and their meanings. His insights will shed light on the intricate connections between Taoist philosophy and broader Chinese traditional culture. The session will be moderated by Hong Kong artist Tang Kwok Hin, who will also engage in a post-screening conversation with Master Ko.

Presented as a Hong Kong arts exchange event of the 2025 Hungry Ghost Festival by the Chinese Culture Center of San Francisco.
