From 30 October to 9 November, ACMI in Melbourne will pay tribute to Leslie Cheung with Days of Being Wild, a complete retrospective of his career, including seminal films such as Farewell My Concubine, Chinese Ghost Story, Rouge and more - many for only a single screening, and possibly your only chance to see them screened in Australia. As part of the program, a special commemorative book is being published, with articles by Philippa Hawker, Clare Stewart and Audrey Yue, as well as tributes from Tsui Hark, Chen Kaige, Adrian Martin, Mike Walsh and others. It will be on sale at ACMI during the season.
With thanks to ACMI, we had a season pass to give away to Days of Being Wild, as well as a copy of the commemorative book.
We asked readers to write their own short tribute to Leslie Cheung - entries came in from all over the world, and they are published here on the site. We originally intended to select the best as the winner, but in fact, they are all so heartfelt, it was heartbreaking to make a decision. So, by random draw, the book was won by Grace Lam from Hong Kong, and the season pass was won by Candy Yuen in Melbourne. Thanks to everyone who contributed their thoughts on what Leslie Cheung meant to you all. Competition closes Tuesday 28th October, 2003
