5 May - "The Last Dance" might have lost Best Picture at its home turf, but continued to gain new victories internationally, with the latest being the Far East Film Festival (FEFF) in Udine, Italy.
The film was awarded the FEFF's Silver Mulberry Audience Award as well as the FEFF Black Dragon critics honour, becoming the only Hong Kong film to win at the festival.
Director Anselm Chan expressed, "Thank you to the audience and professional judges of the Udine Far East Film Festival for their love and recognition. I am grateful that this magical journey of 'The Last Dance' has collected another beautiful memory."
Lead actress Michelle Wai, who won Best Actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards (HKFA) recently, expressed her elation as well, saying, "Thank you to the local audience for their love, which has allowed the film to go further."
It is noted that "The Last Dance" won five accolades at the recently held HKFA. However, it lost the Best Picture category to "Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In".
