Overview

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.

Viewing Notes

Officially my last film viewed on MUBI before I cancel.

Really dig this short which is part experimental and part documenting life in Hong Kong. Cool use of 16mm.
