Hong Kong filmmaker Kiwi Chow says his thriller "Deadline," set in a fictional world and filmed in Taiwan, was banned by censors citing national security without explanation.
Chow将禁令归结于他挑战北京的历史, 而不是电影内容, 反映香港2020年国家安全法下更广泛的审查制度。
Chow attributes the ban to his history of challenging Beijing rather than the film’s content, reflecting broader censorship under Hong Kong’s 2020 national security law.

Since 2021, 13 films have been banned and 50 modified on security grounds, a sharp rise from pre-2020 levels.

Chow, whose past works addressed political tensions, faced professional isolation, lost investors, and could not film in Hong Kong, forcing production to move abroad.

Despite the ban damaging the film’s commercial prospects, he remains committed to creating work in Hong Kong, though he may adapt his approach amid increasing self-censorship.
