《繼續爭氣》
A Production of Chang Ai Media Project Ltd. Lee Hysan Foundation
60分鐘；廣東話中英字幕

預告片：https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snS6bmfBmhU

《爭氣》記錄了一班來自香港三間被視為弱勢中學和一間視障學校的學生們，通過音樂劇的訓練而發現自我的歷程。導演以紀錄片形式，探索香港的教育體系，按學生的成績劃分他們到不同組別的學校，以致在低組別學校唸書的學生，因成績稍遜而飽受輕視，被標籤和邊緣化。六年後，這班年輕人過著怎樣的生活？《繼續爭氣》這部電影，通過回訪其中四位主角，記錄他們這數年間經歷的蛻變與成長，以及如今面對的挑戰。

6年來，楊導演一直都有和《爭氣》中的同學聯絡，常常關心他們的生活。當她知道子諾會參加一個由中文大學舉辦為期八天的以色列學習團，楊導演覺得是時候拍攝《爭氣》的續集，讓觀眾看到各人的人生改變，以及6年前的音樂劇演出對他們現今的影響。

楊導演剪輯《繼續爭氣》時決定用上《爭氣》電影的片段來穿插其中，使《繼續爭氣》也可以成為一部獨立作品，即使從未欣賞過《爭氣》的觀眾也可以從中看到幾位主角6年前後性格和生活的轉變。

 “My Voice My Life Revisited”
A Production of Chang Ai Media Project Ltd. Lee Hysan Foundation
60min; Cantonese with Chinese and English subtitles

Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snS6bmfBmhU

My Voice, My Life followed classes of students from three high schools for underprivileged kids and one school for the visually impaired as they embarked on a voyage of self-discovery through taking part in a musical production. The director explores Hong Kong's education system in the form of a documentary. Dividing students into different groups of schools according to their grades, makes the students being despised, labeled, and marginalized because of their lower grades. Six years later, what kinds of lives are they leading now? My Voice, My Life Revisited goes in search of four of those students, charting their transformation and how they have grown over these past few years, as well as the challenges they are facing today.

Ruby Yang kept in touch with the cast of My Voice, My Life over those six years, often concerned about their lives. When she found out that Tsz Nok was planning to go on an eightday study trip to Israel organized by the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Ruby felt it was time to shoot the sequel of My Voice, My Life to let audiences know how their lives had changed and what impact starring in the musical six years ago had had on them.

Director Yang decided to use clips from "My Voice My Life" while editing "My Voice My Life Revisited", to make it become an independent work. Let the audience who have never enjoyed the previous film, know the changes of the protagonists.
