Historia
Valerie Chow is a former Hong Kong actress, fashion publicist and entrepreneur.
She has starred in numerous films and several television series, most memorably in Wong Kar-wai's internationally acclaimed 1994 feature, Chungking Express, which earned her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the 14th Hong Kong Film Awards. A former Miss Hong Kong runner-up (1991), she is also the first Chinese model to be signed by US cosmetics company Revlon in 1998.
Since 2003, she has worked primarily as a fashion publicist and in 2010, opened Mama Kid, a children's designer concept store in Hong Kong.
In 2018, she made a surprising return to acting, starring in the film Prison Architect by renowned Chinese visual artist Cao Fei. The film was commissioned by Tai Kwun, the Centre for Heritage and Arts in Hong Kong, and screened at the 69th Berlin International Film Festival as part of their Forum Expanded programme.
The two protagonists – an architect and a prisoner living in parallel realities in the present time and an ambiguous distanced past, respectively – conjure up imaginations and experiences of imprisonment. In their dialogue across space and time they debate the relations between humans, the world, and freedom. They talk of visible and invisible imprisonment, existentialism as a means of self-redemption, and at the same time question the relationship of humans to the space around them. An attempt at reconciliation with the world and human nature.

Mrs. Chan
Una joven solitaria con precedentes depresivos se traslada a un apartamento, pero pronto comenzarán los problemas que le han perseguido desde hace años: unos fantasmas se le aparecen atormentándola. Su prima le consigue una cita con un psicólogo compañero de su marido en un hospital. Ella, a pesar de haber pasado por muchas manos, encontrará algo nuevo en este hombre, que no cree en los fantasmas y que basa sus teorías en los problemas de la mente humana. La comprensión junto al apoyo de éste harán que la mujer se conciencie de que todo surge de su imaginación. Cuando sea el propio doctor el que comience a tener similares pesadillas, ni sus propias teorías ni la ayuda de la joven con la que ha comenzado una relación serán suficientes motivos para, quizá, salvarle de la locura.
