5. Allen Fong Yuk-ping
Director Allen Fong Yuk-ping's movies of the late 1970s and early 1980s have had little influence in the mainland but the three-time winner has been a favorite of Hong Kong Film Awards jurors. His neorealist style of Italian filmmaking in which he tells personal or real-life stories is a unique contrast to standard Hong Kong films.
