Trailer
This film is part of Yu Shimizu’s Carte Blanche, a Tokyo-based art film curator.
Shot on the eve of the 2019 – 20 Hong Kong protests. The scenery I saw during my trip to Hong Kong was nostalgic, like something I had seen in a dream a long time ago. The shopping streets and markets stretched under the skyscrapers on the small island. The city is very futuristic but also has a feeling of time going backward. After returning to Japan, I saw the news videos showing many Molotov cocktails being thrown around in the city. People and the world change easily, with the way the wind blows. Was it a dream that I saw in the city? I collected small fragments of feeling on the other side of the wall next to daily life.
