🎬 The 43rd Hong Kong Film Awards Best Film – Final Five Nominee: The Way We Talk
In a world full of noise, a film about silence has managed to speak the loudest.
The Way We Talk has officially been named one of the Top 5 Best Film nominees at the 43rd Hong Kong Film Awards—a powerful recognition for a story rooted in identity, communication, and the right to be heard.
Directed by Adam Wong and starring Chung Suet Ying, Neo Yau, and Marco Ng, the film follows three deaf youths as they navigate personal choices and social expectations around sign language, cochlear implants, and the meaning of "normal."
But this is not just a film about deafness—it is a film about every human’s search for belonging, understanding, and pride.
What makes this nomination so special is not just its subject matter, but the authenticity behind the production: five years of research, real deaf actors in key roles, and sign language woven organically into every frame. The Way We Talk doesn’t ask for pity—it demands empathy, challenges perspectives, and invites us into a world often misunderstood or overlooked.
In a time when Hong Kong cinema faces immense challenges, this film stands tall as a reminder that cinema with heart, craft, and purpose still thrives.
