Xiangzidian Village: The Stage

One night, kept awake by highway construction outside his window, the filmmaker realises that a road will soon cut through his hometown, Xiangzidian Village. He sets up a camera to document the process, as the building site becomes a modern stage where his family’s joys and sorrows, partings and reunions play out.

To Alexandra

A collage of letters and intertwined journeys across time. As explorer and writer Alexandra David-Néel recounts her Himalayan passage a century ago, a filmmaker reflects on encounters in Eastern Tibet. Across different media, both examine their positions as outsiders, dwelling on historical wounds and a self reshaped by the high plateau.

Farewell, My Nest

After a deadly fire in a Beijing migrant workers’ housing block in 2017, authorities launched sweeping safety inspections, forcibly evicting residents and demolishing homes. The filmmaker follows workers across urban villages, observing their livelihoods and reflecting on class realities under China’s household registration system.

Confessions of a Mole

After seven years in Poland, the filmmaker returns to China for Lunar New Year and is drawn back into family tensions. When her parents urge her to remove a ‘misfortunate’ mole, illness and tradition collide. Blending documentary intimacy with stop-motion animation and tragicomic tones, the film explores fate, generational trauma, and the rediscovery of love.

As a Bird that Briefly Perches

Drawing on the filmmaker’s diasporic experience, this three-part video diary weaves Hong Kong’s geology, greenhouse cultivation, and migrant farming into a meditation on identity. Reframing agricultural processes and species migration, the film reflects on the implications of rooting and re-rooting, and on the evolving dynamics between land and humanity across foreign soils.

In a Minute

Approaching graduation, a filmmaker reflects on an old friend’s engagement and her own mother’s retirement, life stages unfolding at different speeds. Inviting participants to record half-minute fragments, she expands personal narratives into collective memory. Through action prompts and moving images, time is deconstructed and reassembled into overlapping rhythms of presence and change.

Island Fever

Drawing on films made by Chinese state studios in the 1950s–1980s, this work revisits island narratives of war, revolution, espionage, and class struggle once shaped to engineer shared sentiments. Images from these features are dismantled and recomposed as propaganda dissolves into tropical murmurs, blurring borders between history and fantasy, individual and collective.

Map of Traces

Unfolding as a tender letter, the film traces Hong Kong through its landscapes and lingering marks. Within memories of those who left, stayed or drifted, it searches for intimate moments that quietly connect lives, attuned to the city’s subtle rhythms of change and stillness.

Compact Disc

On the threshold of adulthood, the director and his close friends gather to rekindle youthful playfulness and rebellion while confronting past trauma. What happens when an entire generation is forced to forget? Can friendship be a form of resistance? The film becomes a living record of solidarity, intimacy, and shared memory amid dark, muted times.

Air Base

Air Base’ refers to a pond in Wuhan, China, where anglers gather but never catch fish. Shot at the end of the pandemic, this hybrid film observes individuals’ strange public behaviours and inner struggles, capturing a time and place where people feel like the anglers at ‘air base’ — or the fish in that pond.
