In He Doesn’t Know I Know, Joan returns to Hong Kong to visit her father, who happens to be afflicted by a foot injury and is taken care of by the mysterious Kit. Moreover, her father keeps avoiding her matchmaking attempts, leading Joan to suspect that he and Kit are harbouring a secret from her. Whispers in the Belly, director Bobby YU Shuk-pui, brings her family’s story to the silver screen. With real-life family members appearing on screen, the film examines intergenerational conflict through the lens of the young. Starring Hong Kong Film Award-winning actor Tai Bo, A Day in Kwun Tong gazes at Hong Kong’s cityscape while ruminating on the sea changes between father and daughter, with its shifting aspect ratio. Homecoming and Going is an expression of director own feelings after going through the same journey. She carefully inserts daily life details to show the cultural differences and reflects on the faint sadness of exchanging fates. 28 uses an Asian woman’s perspective to explore the clash between humanism and gentrification. Featuring Golden Horse nominee Elizabeth TANG and artist Sammi MAK in leading roles, the film deromanticises the situation of Hong Kongers living in a foreign land.
