Valse Sentimentale(2008)
Constantina Voulgaris’s first feature film is a delightful anomaly in contemporary cinema, sort of like a Cat Power song. Raw, earnest, melancholy, awkward in parts, razor sharp in others, it's lyrical, yet with an undercutting touch of offbeat humor. And more than anything it's unapologetically a girl's bedroom song, an utterly sincere home movie. Made with the ever-generous currency of a cast and crew of friends, and the ample downtime that Greek summer-in-the-city affords, when everybody else is sunning and hooking up out in the islands, it's a film about two exiles -- in Athens, in summer, in love. A sentimental dance between a girl and a boy who could be stuck in downtown any-ville, yearning to be with each other but too cool to dare, too chicken to admit it, too clumsy not to step on each other's Doc Martens, and too damn sentimental not to surrender, in the end, to that old-fashioned thing called love.

HKPO x Hins Concert Live(en)
Hins Cheung teamed up with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra (HKPO) for three concerts in November 2011. In the nearly two-hour performance that was divided into themed sessions of Love, Inspiration, Freedom, and Eternity - or LIFE collectively - the singer's wonderfully infectious voice melded perfectly with the breathtaking musical accompaniments of the HKPO on a set consisting of more than 20 songs. Besides delivering orchestral versions of his own hits, Hins also paid tribute to yesterday's great singers with his renditions of classic numbers from Danny Chan, Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung, and Deanie Ip; he even sang a Kit Chan song while playing the harp on a midair platform!
