Simon Liu / Italy, United States, United Kingdom & Hong Kong / 2024 / World Premiere / 10 min
Hong Kong artist Simon Liu uses the big screen as canvas in an intense, compact and physical work (NB: The film contains strobe effects).
A psychogeographic sensory bombardment rooted in artist Simon Liu’s native Hong Kong, where the struggle for personal expression increasingly clashes with the dark forces of censorship. In the wake of recent political protests, Liu has created a compact work for the big screen that demonstrates with physical intensity a deep knowledge of analogue darkroom methods as well as contemporary video practices, while exploring the borderlands of a new reality of misinformation and civil disobedience. NB: The film contains strobe effects.
