My Happy Mom, And Her Chinese Opera

This documentary follows an elderly woman who, after devoting her life to raising children, finally rekindles her passion for Cantonese opera. Once an enthusiastic performer, she stopped performing after the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, she returns to classes not to seek the stage again, but to find joy in learning with fellow seniors. The film captures her quiet persistence and the simple happiness she finds in daily life. “Achievement” here is redefined—not by applause or spotlight, but by the warmth of song and companionship in her twilight years.

Tisese: A Documentary on Three Mosuo Women

Mosuo, located in South-West China, is the only Matrilineal society in China. The first record of Mosuo culture dates back more than two thousand years. Today, this tribe still retains their unique culture, in which people live with their mothers' families and never marry. Concepts such as 'father', 'husband' and 'wife' have no meaning in Mosuo culture. Men and women may sleep together at night, but during the day they return to their own families. Mosuo culture is one in which men and women live harmoniously, and where there is no difference in status between the genders. Director Chou Wah Shan is a former associate professor at Hong Kong University, whose area of interest is gender and sexuality. He spent more than a year with the Mosuo people, and the result is an intimate portrait of this fascinating tribe.

Part-Time Moon

Part-Time Moon documents a fantasy of an artificial moon that is created inside the artist’s studio. The film is initiated from glazing over on a filmmaking tool. Compare to the real moon, the part-time moon carries an anthropomorphic character: it moves, changes luminosity and color on its own. The camera chases after this organic moon from far to close. It dances, playing hide-and-seek with the camera. The film takes the apparatus usually behind the camera back to the front of the lens, producing a visual-driven narration which is out of the norm.

This is recited in a recording by singer-songwriter Jing Wong. 借鑒六十年代流行音樂的聲音、樂器、質感、混音特色、倒播處理等,再嘗試以現今電子音樂拼貼方法重新展現、組合,並「音樂化」也斯在詩中提到的內容,當中亦借用了卜戴倫在六十年代紅極一時的經典歌曲《Blowin’ In The Wind》的一句歌詞「The answer is blowin’ in the wind」回應和延伸也斯詩中的「答案啊,我的朋友是在風中飄動」,由同樣是唱作人的本地創作歌手黃靖錄音朗讀。
