Story Behind...

A journey through the private lives of five strangers in Hong Kong. A VR film about finding intimacy in a city of density.

"I think that for some people, Hong Kong is a city which looks like ‘the future’. Films like Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell established this vision of ‘the future’ as a dense neon-lit cityscape somewhere between Hong Kong and Tokyo. But I think this vision is only from the outside. On the inside, it's different – I think there’s a lot of nostalgia in Hong Kong culture. Whether it’s people looking back at the era of Beyond and Leslie Cheung, or imagining a romanticized vision of the 1960s in In the Mood for Love – I think there’s a longing for some kind of ‘golden age’."
