Happy Valley
Producer
In Hong Kong, echoes of resistance and turmoil are sensitively captured on 16mm in this poetic rumination of public spaces and everyday life in a metropolis in upheaval.
Signal 8
Producer
Simon Liu's eerie, entrancing portrait of contemporary Hong Kong tracks a series of strange disruptions to the city's urban infrastructure. Deceptively tranquil 16mm images of everyday life are accompanied by muffled music cues, ominous radio transmissions, and intimations of an impending hazardous event that may never arrive.
E-Ticket
Producer
E-Ticket is a cinematic collage in the form of a flicker film. The frame rapidly swipes through my archive of 35mm still photographs; which have been obsessively tape spliced together, one frame at a time in evolving rhythmic patterns. Views shift between a high school trip in India to snap shots from my first year living alone; culminating in the documentation of a violent 2005 protest of a World Trade Organization summit in Hong Kong.
