In the early 1980s, director Clara Law Cheuk-yiu left her position as a producer at Radio Television Hong Kong’s TV division and became the first Chinese student at the National Film and Television School in the UK. Her graduation project, They Say the Moon Is Fuller Here, became a feature-length film and won the Silver Plaque award at the 1985 Chicago Film Festival.
