Come Rain or Shine
Justyne, Sze-Yeung Li
Trailer
Why not let our bodies move freely in the streets, where stressed passers-by hurry to work or to accomplish their daily tasks? Why not dance in the rain? Why not use the whole urban landscape as a stage, down here at the foot of the high-rise buildings? Hailing from Hong Kong, choreographer and dancer Justyne, Sze-yeung Li stages an interaction between a talented creator and her demanding daily life — like that of so many others — in this short film. This skilfully shot film, whose settings and landscape echo the tormented movements of the protagonist, is an ode to creativity, inspiring courage and fantasy as ways to overcome adversity.
