Chinese New Year\u2019s just\naround the corner\u2014a perfect occasion to end our love-hate relationship with all\nthe yummy yet high-calorie foods we tend to stay away from for the rest of the\nyear for fear of not being able to fit into that lovely pair of jeans! But\naside from feasting your stomach, how about feast your eyes on some classic\nfilms as well? Natalie Wong, resident fellow of the University of Macau\u2019s (UM)\nPearl Jubilee College (PJC), recently organised a film screening activity to\nenrich the life of students who are staying in Macao for the Chinese New Year.\nA lover of films herself, Natalie once taught cinema at Hong Kong Baptist\nUniversity and not long after she joined PJC, she began in earnest to organise\nfilm-related activities, including directors\u2019 sharing sessions, workshops on\nfilm production, etc, in hopes of promoting a film culture among PJC students. During\nthe first session of this Chinese New Year film screening activity, Natalie\nplayed the classic suspense film Vertigo<\/i>\n<\/i>directed\nby Alfred Hitchcock. Those who were watching the film\nfor the first time were completely enthralled, and even those who had watched\nit before gained a new understanding of the film from Natalie\u2019s insightful\ndissection of the plots as well as the unique cinematic techniques which were\nadopted by Alfred Hitchcock and which have inspired many directors after him.\nFor the upcoming film screenings, Natalie will play <\/i>Delicatessen<\/i> and Gangnam Style.<\/i> If you are\na lover of films but not a member of PJC, don\u2019t forget to make a reservation\nwith PJC colleagues at 83974921 or 83974922 and treat yourself to a different Chinese New Year\nexperience.<\/p>
