Theatrical release: ‘Tape’

By   |  Jul 24, 2025

Phoenix Waters Productions and Showalker UK are bringing the 2024 Hong Kong drama ‘Tape’ (錄影歹) to UK cinemas on August 22, 2025.

Directed by Bizhan Tong, the film centres on three former classmates whose reunion unearths a long-buried secret, compelling them to face their past, one another, and the boundaries of truth. The cast includes Selena Lee, Summer Chan, Kenny Kwan, Adam Pak, and Angus Yeung.

Synopsis: Set in modern-day Hong Kong, ‘Tape’ follows three former high school friends whose seemingly casual reunion takes a dark and unexpected turn. Fifteen years after graduation, Wing – a drifting former romantic – invites his old friend Jon, now a rising filmmaker, to reconnect on the eve of Jon’s big film festival debut. But the atmosphere quickly shifts as secrets from their past resurface, particularly concerning Amy, the ex-girlfriend they both share a complicated history with. As tensions mount and long-suppressed memories clash with the need for closure, what begins as a nostalgic evening spirals into a harrowing confrontation that forces all three to face the truth – and the lies – they’ve been living with.

Please check local listings to see if ‘Tape’ is screening near you.
