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 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.
Boom Operator
The always-serious rock and roller Spence (Eric Kuehnemann) receives an invitation to visit his ex Monika (Nikki Belfiglio) at her trendy new friend Catherine's (Rose Blanshei), but doesn't expect a party full of EDM-heads and masked revelers, including drug-dealing bad-boy JR (Madison Welles). Full of paranoia and yearning for Monika's attention, Spence struggles to navigate his way out of the 'little labyrinth.'
