If people are to remember your programming work for only one film, what would you want that film to be? What is your proudest discovery as a programmer?
When Leslie Cheung killed himself in April, 2003, it was really, really painful for a lot of fans. And at that year's festival we had a surprise screening of THE BRIDE WITH WHITE HAIR(白发魔女) and ASHES OF TIME（东邪西毒）. To hell with the distributors, we just found prints and programmed them.
When BRIDE began, at the first close-up of Leslie, the entire audience burst into applause and cheering that went on for a couple of minutes because that's what you do when a great actor makes his first entrance. While that movie was playing you could hear a pin drop, and when it ended, Leslie spoke his last few lines, the screen faded to black and the theater just erupted. The only way we could have made it better was if we'd burned down the cinema, Viking funeral style. It was the right way to send him off and to pay him back, in some small way, for all the joy he had given us over the years. I think Leslie would have appreciated it. From what I understand, he loved attention.
**** pretending to have ownership of some director I "discovered." Giving Leslie Cheung the send-off all of us in that room gave him? That's what I'm proud of.
