A House in a House, in a House

What if the most inconvenient things were uncovered? I consider myself useless whenever I see the traces of my loathful father on me. The house of my home is not a space for rest, but one for sense of guilt. In there, I put myself into the swamp of self-hatred. The hatred for my father grows bigger when the object of my hatred is directed back to myself. Why should I struggle so hard to be understood by my father, the most useless existence to my understanding? Can I ever run away from myself who finds me through my father?

Ballad on the Shore

On the small isle of Tap Mun, the ocean breeze gently lifts up strands of grey hair on Lai Lin-shau’s head. He quietly sings in the characteristic tones of the fisherman’s ballads. Seemingly without rules, the pitch and tones alternate and repeat themselves as if they were synchronising with the ocean waves. Lai is one of the few people alive who knows the fisherman’s ballads intimately. None of his children experienced the harsh and unforgiving life at sea. They are not even aware of his priceless knowledge of the ballads. As the fishing community shrinks, old fishermen found new ways of life on land. One performs and teaches the ballads to young children; another uses the ballads to spread her Christian faith. The ballads have become a spiritual harbour for these landed fishermen. But deaths come brutally. Lai loses his listeners and his memory of the ballads. A precious part of him is dying.

Startling Videos 5: Revenge Edition

This is a "fearful" version of a collection of psychic videos that are color-coded by blue, yellow, and red to indicate the level of danger! We see the despair beyond fear in the face of the vengeful spirit before death and the curse after death that surrounds the submitted videos, but for a moment we feel compassion... This is a work like no other that makes the viewer realize the sinful fear that the viewer can become a party = spirit at any time, and that the ghost videos swallow the contributors, those who hate and are hated, and all the staff members who cover the event!
