City of Lost Things(HKAFF 2021)

Feeling abandoned and out of place in society, 16-year-old Leaf chooses to cancel himself from life: running away from home, he ends up in a curious city inhabited by anthropomorphic junk. This world of the discarded seems right for Leaf, but his friend Baggy strives to escape to a place where it can be more than trash. Blue Gate Crossing director Yee Chih-yen boldly ventures into 3D animation with this ambitious award-winning feature ten years in the making. Both visually enthralling and thought-provoking, the imaginative fantasy dazzles and daunts with the spectacular allegorical journey of a troubled boy and a sentient plastic bag who help each other find a way out.
