HOME 💛 Fairness Starts with One Person, One Vote

⚠️ Voting for HOME is now officially open! ⚠️

This year, voters are required to enter an email address to ensure that each person can vote only once. This measure helps prevent duplicate voting and upholds the principle of fairness—so that the final results truly reflect the collective voice of the community.

As organisers, we sincerely hope everyone will respect this one-person-one-vote principle. Even if you strongly support a particular nominee, maintaining fairness ensures that every award carries genuine credibility and meaning.

There’s a saying:
“Harmony is not when a hundred people say the same thing, but when a hundred people express different views with mutual respect.”

Voting is not just about deciding winners. It is about fairly representing the diverse perspectives of Hongkongers around the world. Especially in a time when voices are increasingly suppressed, the simple act of casting a free vote is something worth protecting.

We believe in all of you.

📅 Voting Opens: April 6 (Mon), 00:00 (AEST – Australian Eastern Time)
📆 Voting Closes: April 12 (Sun), 23:59 (PDT – Pacific Daylight Time)

👇 留言話我知你想睇邊套！

【 這場冒險，誠邀你地一齊行落去 】

好多人私訊小編，名單有呢套、有嗰套。見到大家個 Wishlist 咁長，我哋係興奮嘅，但亦係忐忑嘅。

現實係，我哋小本經營，資源有限，無能力將所有戲都帶哂過嚟。每一套戲嘅命運，其實都係環環相扣——上一套嘅票房，就係下一套戲嘅入場券。

所以，今次想聽下大家最真實嘅心聲：《金童》、《今天應該很高興》、《殺手 #4》、《不赦之罪》、《眾生相》、《再見UFO》、《地母》
邊一套，係你就算揸一個鐘車都想入戲院睇嘅？

( ⛑️ 戴定頭盔：雖然未必保證傾到，但我哋想知道大家最想睇邊部，盡力去爭取！ )

💡 想我哋長做長有？你可以用最舒服嘅方式支持：
【 入場撐 🎟️ 】 支持依家上映緊嘅 《觸電》(你嘅每一張飛，都係我哋繼續行落去嘅動力)
【 屋企撐 📺 】 訂閱我哋嘅 Streaming Platform(就算無時間入戲院，我哋依然可以喺線上相聚)

每一份支持，讓香港電影繼續被看見。

Movie Title: Back to the Past

Hong Kong Release Date: 31 December 2025
Genre: Historical / Sci-fi / Action
Directors: Ng Yuen-Fai, Jack Lai

Back to the Past is the highly anticipated big-screen continuation of the beloved 2001 TV drama A Step into the Past, itself adapted from the acclaimed novel The Chronicles of Searching Qin by Huang Yi. After more than two decades since the original series captured audiences with its unique blend of time travel, history and adventure, the film finally brings the story back to cinemas with much of the original ensemble reprising their roles.

The plot picks up nineteen years after the events of the TV series, with Hong Siu-lung living a quiet life with his family in the Qin Dynasty at peace. But that peace is shattered by a new threat from the future: Ken, a modern man who has lost everything due to wrongful imprisonment and is determined to travel back in time to reshape history and seize power. As old alliances and ancient rivalries resurface, Hong and his former disciple — now Emperor Qin Shi Huang — must confront unresolved wounds and the explosive possibility of history being rewritten yet again.

The film marks the reunion of Louis Koo, Raymond Lam, Jessica Hsuan, Sonija Kwok and Joyce Tang — actors who helped make A Step into the Past a cultural touchstone in Hong Kong and across Asia. Their return adds both nostalgia and dramatic depth to a story that now resonates with themes of legacy, duty and the consequences of changing fate.

The film blends historical spectacle with science-fiction elements, grounded in martial arts action and the emotional stakes of its characters’ journeys.

For fans of the original series and newcomers alike, Back to the Past offers a rare opportunity to revisit one of Hong Kong television’s most imaginative tales in a new cinematic format. It promises not just thrilling action and time-bending drama, but a reflection on how the past, present, and future are always more connected — and more complicated — than we think.
