Unsettling thoughts kept disrupting the shoot while both directors drifted in between the internal and external landscape of Room 525.

Director

Elysa Wendi

Elysa Wendi is a Singaporean artist and filmmaker based in Hong Kong. Preoccupied with the abstraction of memory from place, time and biographical traces, Elysa Wendi explores her works in film, photography and performance. In 2015, Wendi co-founded Cinemovement, a platform to facilitating the creation of inter-disciplinary filmic works through a laboratory setting. She has won the best experimental film in South Taiwan Film Festival 2018 with her film 1958 Delivery and best documentary film in Hong Kong Arthouse Film Festival 2020 with her film Forgive or Not to Forgive.

Wai Shing LEE

Shing LEE, Hong Kong independent filmmaker. His involvement with Chinese Independent Documentary Lab from 2016-2018 has exposed him to many independent documentary possibilities. His latest documentary film Family Family Day which was made with the support of HKU Documentary Seed Grants, has just won the Gold Award (Open Category) in the 24th ifva Awards in Hong Kong.

這部影片不同於一般香港反送中紀錄片的觀點,將鏡頭轉向不在前線的群眾,透過房裡房外的對比,以訪談的形式,透露出一般民眾深刻的無力感,以及回歸正常生活的想望,提供另一種面向的思考及可能性。

三位居於香港的創作者,以影像抒發近兩年的城市觀察。常被身邊小人物吸引的郭臻,以計程車司機視角觀察反修例運動的一晚;由舞蹈走入影像創作的葉奕蕾,以舞者肉身霧影隱喻運動的緊迫與疼痛;李偉盛與葉奕蕾合拍紀錄片,呈現多位被攝者對運動的反思。
導演將視角延伸到街頭周遭,任何空間都可以是片場。橫跨劇情、實驗與紀錄片,在有限的資源下,他們也摸索出自己的拍片方法。
